Idiom of the day

(10-01-13) much of a madness: very alike or similar; not much different. We could study abroad at either the program Westminster or the one at Middlesex, as they are much of a madness.

where's the cream filling?

I came across of list of old slogans. Here are some that I think are amazing, especially when taken out of context:

1. I'd walk a mile for a Camel.
2.We drink all we can. The rest we sell.
3. Put a tiger in your tank.
4. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
5. Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.
6. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
7. It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken.
