2. KFC - Finger Lickin' Good

There's no need to pull out any utensils or cutlery when you're about to dive into a delicious bucket of fried chicken. KFC nails this sentiment with their familiar slogan, "Finger lickin' good."

3. M&M's - Melts in Your Mouth, Not in Your Hands

Let's all agree that the best part about M&M's is its unique outer candy coating. Giving each little chocolate piece a fun bite to it, M&M's definitely understood the assignment when they created their logo. "Melts in your mouth, not in your hands" is absolutely perfect - it emphasizes the candy's selling point which is that its outer shell prevents the chocolate from melting.
