the best of holiday advertising

halloween and thanksgiving are almost nonexistent in singapore, so they skipped right to christmas. we've been listening to holiday tunes in every store since october, and the decorations have been in full swing for a few weeks.

today i got my local grocery store's holiday sale magazine and some of the advertising lines were too good not to share. so in the spirit of thanksgiving, here are some of the best phrases advertising holiday specials like "crispy pork knuckle" and "spiral beer sausage"...

delis so fine, tummies will pine!

a spread so lavish, guests will relish


sweet and creamy, kids will be merry


bite-size delights, keep all smiling wide

toasts so good, to soak you in the mood

make children scream with glee, for just a small fee!


boys want action, we give them satisfaction
(advertising toys, c'mon now.)

awesome, right? poetry at its finest.

  1. You know, that's why I am addicted to See's candy. They are bite sized delights that keep my smile wide. But they also keep my bottom/hips/waistline wide. They should throw in a line about that into their advertising.

  2. My favorite is "keep all smiling wide." HAHA

  3. These could debut on Jimmy Kimmel's unnecessary censorship episodes....
