Talk:76 (gas station)

replies: text: That's a good question.  If I recall correctly, 76 used to have something about "the spirit of '76" as one of their advertising slogans.  This was a reference to the United States Declaration of Independence; everyone in the U.S. knows about July 4, 1776 because July 4 is still celebrated as Independence Day.  This is part of a common trend in American advertising: make the consumer feel "independent" and unique and powerful by encouraging their right to choose among one of a handful of mass-produced and mass-marketed products.  --Coolcaesar 07:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
