Yup, It must be true. It is written! Just like.....
M&Ms melt in your mouth, not in your hand, just ignore those sticky
rainbow colors in your hand.
McDonalds hambugers are the best! They must be, they sell billions and
billions.
Oakley beach wear. Thermo-nuclear protection. Who cares if Iran has the
bomb?
$4000 trade in allowance for any car you can push into this dealership!
Well here's my old 71 Datsun, give me that new Kia for $3900 now?
And let's not forget the razor that gives you 50 close shaves.
The car wax that lasts for 52 car washes.
The Ginsu knives that never need sharpening.
Triumph beats MG (but the MG had a triumph engine?)
And I am selling ocean front property in Kansas
It is written now so it must be true.
