Seinfeld-esque Moment



Once upon a time, a young girl would hum along to the theme tune for Sara Lee bakery products, ever so innocently singing the words, "Nobody does it like Sara Lee!"

One day, this sweet young girl grew up and learned to read. After many, many more years of enjoying the occasional Sara Lee jingle in this same way, a large Sara Lee truck passed her on the road.

And she realized that the slogan actually is "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee." As I seethe... err, I mean... as she seethes about this grammatical error... she realizes one thing.

She is the nobody that doesn't like Sara Lee.

Sara Lee is also the brand name of a number of frozen and packaged foods, often known for the long-running slogan "Nobody does it like Sara Lee" which is often misquoted as "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee".[2] In 2006, Sara Lee announced a new company wide campaign: "the joy of eating." The campaign is part of a restructuring at Sara Lee.

I wouldn't put too much stock into Wikipedia, with it being user submitted and all.

Presently the slogan for Sara Lee is "the joy of eating." Before the slogan was changed it definitely was "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee." The old slogan is very visible on several of their trucks, plus there's several articles about the controversy of the slogan.

Copy and paste this link for a picture of a Sara Lee truck.
