New Jersey's New Tourism Slogan

Unfortunately, "Baddabing!" was not the winning slogan. But this was, "New Jersey: Come See for Yourself." Do you like? Residents of America's most densely populated state were asked to vote on five finalists, and the winning slogan, submitted by Jeffrey Antman of Passaic, got the largest number of votes, 3,373 out of a total of 11,227. Congrats, Jeffrey!

Here are the other slogans that failed to catch fire:

"New Jersey: Expect the Unexpected"

"New Jersey: The Best-Kept Secret"

"Come Out to New Jersey: It's Not as Bad as it Smells"

"New Jersey: Hey, at Least it's not West Virginia"

"New Jersey: We'll Win You Over" (Which was devised by an image consulting firm that charged the State $260,000 to come up with that brilliant failure)

I still think "New Jersey: Medicine Chest to the World" would've worked. But then it sounds too close to that fictitious pharma in The Constant Gardener, "The World is Our Clinic."
