Why On Earth Did You Buy THAT?

Friday, July 30, 2010




Oh.


Well, ok, then.


Seriously, I think I've just found my new favorite Wreckerator here. Way to work to your product's strengths, my friend! In fact, if you need any more ideas, I have a few suggestions:

"It beats jello"

"95% of diets fail anyway"

"Cheaper than therapy"

"It was this or rhubarb pie."

"The end MIGHT be nigh"


Ok, that's all I've got. Have anything better? Then gimmie your best 1-line Wreck sales pitch in the comments, and tonight I'll randomly select someone who makes me laugh to win a signed copy of Cake Wrecks, the book:
.
Only $5.20 on Amazon! Woot! Stock up!

I'll announce the winner in tomorrow's post, so check back then.

Now, quick, go BE FUNNY. Chop chop!

At least you got a "cake"!

It will make you feel better. Like a big chocolate hug.

I would go with:

"Waist Not"

It conveys both the message of not wasting something that's been made and that the buyer need not worry about the calories. Would you rather waste a cake or have a waist?

-WM (the great disco newt)

Tiffany said...

Why not?

Goes well with ice cream

A cake a day keeps the doctor in pay

Let them eat cake

Dosent get beter then this (sic)

I keep thinking of SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy when I see "therapist" because of how it could be wrecked. "I'll take 'the rapist' for two hundred, Alex." "That's 'therapist', Mr. Connery." XD

I don't have a one-liner, but many years ago, a friend of my mom's was put in charge of ordering her birthday cake - she got it to say "Happy Bar Mitzvah Murray" and told Mom she'd gotten it half-price!

Umm... how about, "Don't Do Crack" ?
A wholesome message for kids AND the Wreckerator can get extra credit for the "intentional" crack in the middle as a creative/graphic element.

"Hypoglycaemia" (British spelling to confuse the Wreckerators even more, heh!)

"Because a cup of tea is too wet without a slice of cake"

Misspent Youth said...

Let's see...

* It wasn't the cake's fault.

* Every cake deserves to have a second chance.

* What is a cake's destiny? To be eaten, yes? Does it really matter what it looks like? (Okay, yes, there are some exceptions)

* It isn't only half-priced, it is half-baked as well!

* What crack?

* You try decorating at 4 in the morning!
