Please tell us what we like, so we can consume it: Building on the "I know what I like, and I like a lot of it" language on the packaging of the Hungry Man All-Month Breakfast dissected in yesterday's Snark Hunting post, here are a few more assertive pronouncements of preference:

"I know What I Like and I Like FRITOS® brand Corn Chips." A Proud Tagline Since 1993. Frito has decided that the best way to entice you to eat their corn chips is to hypnotize you into it:
When you need a snack to fill up those empty spaces, nothing satisfies like a hearty helping of FRITOS® brand Corn Chips. Crunch into FRITOS® Corn Chips and savor their delicious corn flavor [note: not corn, but "corn flavor"] and bold texture, chip after chip. It's the taste you've been craving. So grab your bag of FRITOS® Corn Chips and treat yourself right. After all, you know what you like.
Yesterday we dissected Swanson's new Hungry-Man tagline – "It's Good to be Full" – and here's Fritos to the rescue "when you need a snack to fill up those empty spaces."

"...but I know what I like!" Monty Python: Michelangelo and the Pope concludes with old chestnut:
Pope: There was only one Redeemer!

Michelangelo: Ah, I know that, we all know that, what about a bit of artistic license?

Pope: Well one Messiah is what I want!

Michelangelo: I'll tell you what you want, mate! You want a bloody photographer! That's you want. Not a bloody creative artist to crease you up...

Pope: I'll tell you what I want! I want a last supper with one Christ, twelve disciples, no kangaroos, no trampoline acts, by Thursday lunch, or you don't get paid!

Michelangelo: Bloody fascist!

Pope: Look! I'm the bloody pope, I am! May not know much about art, but I know what I like!
"I know what I like - tall, beefy Nordic men." [on Craigslist - Seattle] Simple, direct, and ever-so specific.
