So many "familiar" variants have now popped into my head that I feel
that I've posted WRT favour vs. favor or some other extremely-common,
hence extremely-ordinary, phenomenon. And I can't think of the product
that had this (kind of) slogan. You'd think that a memorable slogan
would bring up the relevant product, but I can't even come up with a
WAG.
