Pennsylvania: The Quest for the Catchiest Motto (Spoiler Alert: It's a Doozy)
Let's face it, Pennsylvania. Our current slogan situation is a bit...meh. "Pursue Your Happiness" sounds like a motivational poster at a dentist's office. We, the land of cheesesteaks, Hershey's Kisses, and thrilling potholes, deserve better! So, buckle up, Pennsylvanians, because we're about to embark on a hilarious journey to find the perfect, unforgettable state motto.
The Frontrunners (and Why They Won't Work)
- "Pennsylvania: Come for the Liberty Bell, Stay for the Scrapple." This one has a certain, well, scrappiness to it. But let's be honest, most people wouldn't know scrapple from a Scrabble tile.
- "Pennsylvania: We Like Our Winters Mild...ish." Accurate? Yes. Catchy? Not so much.
- "Pennsylvania: You'll Go From Wawa to Wow!" Okay, this one might be a regional favorite, but it leaves non-Wawa-initiated folks scratching their heads.
The Bold and the Beautiful (But Maybe a Bit Cheesy)
- "Pennsylvania: Where History Meets Hersheypark!" It's got history, it's got chocolate...but it might be a tad sugary.
- "Pennsylvania: Mountains, Metropoles, and Maybe a Monster Truck Rally." This one captures our diversity, but the monster truck element might be a stretch.
- *"Pennsylvania: We're Not Just Philly and Pittsburgh (But They're Pretty Awesome)." True, true, but a bit of a mouthful.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
What is A Good Slogan For Pennsylvania |
The Underdogs (with Unexpected Bite)
- *"Pennsylvania: We Put the 'vania' in Transylvania (But Without the Vampires...Probably)."
A little dark, but it certainly sticks in your mind. - "Pennsylvania: We're so full of potholes, you'll never forget us!" Self-deprecating humor can be a winner, right?
- "Pennsylvania: We may not have a beach, but our rivers are pretty darn good...at flooding basements." Okay, maybe this is just a cry for help disguised as a slogan.
