Try to refer to the product/sponsor in some way. My Dad won a colour TV in a Sunday Post competition sponsored by a crisp manufacturer. His slogan was "These crisps are so good, Oor Wullie eats them by the bucketful"

I won a first prize in a Kelloggs, Bart Simpson No Problem'O's cereal competition with the Slogan "A much better breakfast than a Krusty Roll with Marge"

I am sure that the referencing of two Simpsons characters as an alternative breakfast did the trick. It also landed me a side bet with a taxi-driver who wagered that I wouldn't win!!
