Hey Bangor! Here are the slogans you found most memorable

They're the words that make a company stand out from the rest. A great slogan can sear itself into the subconscious of a consumer better than other tool, when it comes to advertising.

Here in Maine, we have no shortage of amusing and clever catch phrases to help us remember the businesses around us. Here are a few of our favorites.

Earlier this spring, JStew was telling me all about how much he loves his firewood guy and recommended I give him a call. So I looked him up on Facebook and almost did a spit-take. The company is Jay Shay Firewood, and their slogan is "We've got the hardest wood in Maine!" That reminded me of a couple other tongue-in-cheek slogans I've seen from some local businesses. Twin City Tire has their "You're only as safe as your rubber." And there's a local paving company that has the slogan "Get laid by the best" painted on the side of their trucks. Those are some that have definitely stuck with me.
