There are 26 choices and "Think Different" is one of them. There is also Verizons slogan " Can you here me now?". There is also Budweisers" Wassup".

Well you know it ain't gonna be Apple's...

I mean, no one walked around going "think different" like they do the other two. Those were widespread, legit pop culture zingers and "moments". Only the faithful among us know - or care - about "think different" (or assign it any importance or impact).

Cool that's it's in there, no doubt. Just doesn't stand a chance against the others.

:)

One of the downsides to that whole niche-y, "3%" thing...most of the world doesn't give a damn about our little "computer that could".

I'd go so far to make a Junkyard Dawg-inspired wager, but, knowing my luck, the damn thing would win and I'd suddenly have to figure out how to become really limber...

... ah yes - what ever happened to JYD? Hasn't shown his "head" around for quite a while I suspect. ;)

I do miss his rants and tales of "leaked info" though. They were usually a good read. :lol:

"Wassup" and "Got milk?" are the only two real contenders on that list.

I mean, sure, some of them are cute and memorable, but *none* of them had the overall social impact and recent immediate recognition to practically everyone than these two.

"Where's the beef?" Umm, I threw it out TWENTY YEARS AGO after that commercial aired. Kids today probably have no idea what this or some of those slogans are even advertising without reading the parentheses.

I had to vote for the BMW one. It really is the "Ultimate Driving Machine!"

Ah yes the things that you have to love about capitalism.

I voted for sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. Almond joy has nuts, Mounds dont.

Because they used to sing a little catchy tune with it and its the longest slogan I can remember really well. I figure thats gotta count for something.

I voted for Think Different, it's like a Mac user mantra, so I had to.

Anyway, I think Think Different may come in at #5.
