I went to this list thinking I'd for sure know the top ten. But I was down in the 70s range before I found one I didn't know! Advertising sticks with us more than we think. The top ten most effective taglines are:

Says a lot about world view and how well the US has colonised the rest of the world that I was even recognising slogans from products that have never been on sale in the UK.
But hell, they releases the Brady BUnch movies here despite the show never hsving been shown here.
Kit-Kat needed to be on that list..."Gimme a break"
Hmmm. Odd that they released the Brady Bunch movies in the UK if the show never aired there. The films were done very tongue-in-cheek, essentially parodies of all the clichés present in the original show. It was a hoot for 30 and 40somethings raised on the TV series, but a lot of the gags and subtle allusions would be lost on those not familiar with it. Dopes.
Oh! My nose!
yeah it's pretty weird.
But then We all grew up with endless film references to shit that we'd never seen, coz US films rarely if ever think that there is anyone else in the world.
For example I know an awful lot about Gilligan's Island for someone who's never seen even a picture of the cast.
Oddly films from my neck of the woods, if they are shown at all, are subtitled in the US despite being made in English.
