"Don't Mess With Texas" Wins Top Honors in National Ad Competition
"Don't Mess With Texas," the anti-littering slogan launched over two decades ago, officially became the top ad slogan today in a national contest held as part of Advertising Week. Besting the likes of "Take a Bite Out of Crime!" and "A Diamond is Forever," the famous phrase is now to be plastered along Madison Avenue and has also earned a spot in the not-yet-open Advertising Icon Museum. In total, over 400,000 people voted for the slogan, thanks in large part to a massive public awareness campaign.
