While taglines like “I’m Lovin’ It” have endured over time, not all slogans have caught on. In the 1990s, Subway’s “What a Sandwich” campaign fizzled. So did “Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut,” a 1960s-era catchphrase that referred to a slowly moving vehicle headed to the pizzeria.

Customers had a couple of slogans of their own: “Who’s Herb?” and “Who cares?”
