And secondly we have the … well I don’t know how to describe it really, other than to say that I’m looking for the sort of advertising slogans that would have been rejected prior to Typhoo coming up with:

And obviously we’ll call these Type B. Note that I don’t want to see any comments to this one involving Scunthorpe, ok? Those of who had been wondering who put what in Scunthorpe can probably work it out for yourselves by now.
Type A - the not at all connected ones
- Time flies like knives - but fruit flies like bananas
- Silence is golden - but duct tape is silver
Type B - the put the something into something else ones
- We put the fun into fundamentalism
- We put the friends into killing frenzy
- We shat into shatterproof (with thanks to JCC)
