advice anonymously. Its founder, Michael
Heyward, states, “Forty-five per cent of
Whisper users post something daily.”

HonestSlogans.com is an entertaining and
clever website where creator Clif Dickens
reimagines the slogans of popular brands
to reflect what customers honestly think
of them. By stripping away the polished
marketing language, Dickens provides
a humorous yet brutally honest take on
these brands’ real-world perceptions. For
instance, while HBO Go’s official slogan
is, “It’s HBO, anywhere,” HonestSlogans
reinterprets it as “Hoping your ex-
roommate’s ex-girlfriend’s stepbrother
won’t change the password” — poking
fun at the common practice of sharing
streaming passwords.
This satirical approach extends to other
brands. Take Subway, whose slogan, “Eat
Fresh,” is rebranded as “Because you don’t
have time to make dinner,” emphasising
Subway’s convenience factor over its so-
called health benefits.
