I have this odd feeling that this one also has its basis in a Calvin and Hobbes strip; I can almost remember it, but not quite.

I hate to admit it, but I like Ozy's punchline.

It reminds me of an infomercial, or when some guy is standing at a table in the mall with a microphone selling knives. I like it. Soda might not use that phrase, but it does sound like the sort of thing a marketing team would come up with that sounds like something if you're not paying attention but really doesn't mean anything.
