Okay, folks, another game thread, and here's the challenge:

Take a popular advertising slogan today, and "update" it for the hypothetically-coming age in which molecular-level genetic tinkering with plants and animals is the norm.

For example:

"...'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with b-o-l-o-D-N-A."

Submit as many as you like.

Ok, "It splices, it DNA dices! For all of your genetic recombinative needs...The 'Gene-Su Knife' is all you'll ever need!"

This is a fun idea

Super Suds, Super Suds; splice your jeans in Super Suds!

From a '40s era radio, detergent commercial -- "wash your duds," it went.

Please forgive me, but I really don't know a hell of a lot about genetics beyond splicing fish roe with scrambled chicken eggs, and having a damned good breakfast. Pork brains will also produce excellent results.

But, I will try.

Hehehe. "Spice your jeans." This is off topic but:

Q: How do we know that insanity is an example of "reverse heredity"?

A: Because you get it from your children!

Splice your DNA with a Chevrolet.

Oh, I wish I was an Oscar Meyer mu-tant
That is what I'd truely like to be.

Everyone would be so jealous of me.

M&Ms, genetically modified shell dissolves in your mouth, not in your hand.

These are hard, thats all I could come up with.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

I crackle 'cause I'm crisp,
I taste better 'cause I'm fresh,
I'm a treat full of zip,
I'm a cloned potato chip!

This is making me wish I paid more attention to TV. Or maybe not.

Well, heck. A guy goes looking around for ad slogans to mess with, and finds that Coke's 2001 slogan is perfect for this thread just the way it was originally written:
Life tastes good.

For those who might be wracking their brains, wanting to join in, starter material might be found at AdSlogans.com. Or at TV Acres.

And another entry from me: It takes a tough man to engineer a tender chicken.

Nice links, Dave! The very first two I read seemed appropriate. Completely unaltered:

"Free enterprise with every copy."
Brand: The Economist
(I envision a stream of identical-looking business men...)

"Go to work on an egg."
Brand: Egg Marketing Board

"A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes to be true he generally believes to be true." --Demosthenes

"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool." --Richard P. Feynman

"Face facts with dignity." --found inside a fortune cookie
