random stuff

Is it just me, or is there something fundamentally wrong with this slogan?  I wonder if something got lost in the translation into Canadian.  

Half Full - it's how we've seen our cups since 1970.  What does this even mean? Are they pessimists? Limited optimists? Underachieving optimists?  Impossibleists? (Is that even a real word?)

How much coffee do you order at a place like that in order to get a full cup?  

     "I'll have two cups of coffee - just put it in one cup"

Oh I know, there is probably some "we can always find room for improvement" motive.  

Still I have to concede that the slogan got me to take notice of a colleague's empty coffee cup - and No, I am not going to tell you the name of the company.
