"You can't spell sausage without U.S.A."

“You can’t spell sausage without U.S.A.” is a saying that has been printed on many images. Johnsonville, a sausage company headquartered in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, trademarked the slogan, but it was used before the trademark.

“‘overheard’ on FB: ‘You can’t spell sausage without USA!’ #lardassnation” was posted on Twitter by Dr Rachel T🌻 on December 20, 2009. “You can’t spell sausage without USA… #teamusa #worldcup #soccermeats” was posted on Twitter by enrico de leon on June 10, 2010. “You can’t spell sausage without USA” was posted on Twitter by Joe Felice on March 12, 2011. “As Whole Foods reminds us, you can’t spell ‘‘Sausage’’ without U-S-A” was posted on Twitter by Joe Caddell on July 4, 2011.

“Last year, Johnsonville created a limited run of t-shirts using a member’s (employee named Shawn) tagline, ‘You Can’t Spell SaUSAge Without ‘USA’’ written across the chest. The shirts were a huge hit on the brand’s social channels, garnering a surprising level of positive sentiment” was posted on Shoot on May 14, 2018. “You Can’t Spell Sausage Without USA!” was posted on Twitter by Johnsonville on June 15, 2018. “Johnsonville ad: You can’t spell saUSAge without USA. Well done advertising agency” was posted on Twitter by Tim Medin on July 4, 2018. “‘You can’t spell saUSAge without USA’ is printed on the boards at the Cornhole Championship on #ESPN I would love to have been in the board room where the Johnsonville directors scream ‘That’s it!’ at the end of that marketing pitch” was posted on Twitter by Justin Combs on July 17, 2018.

“You can’t spell sausage without usage” is another sausage saying.

Droga5, Directors Adam and Dave Get Musical, Patriotic For Johnsonville
BY ROBERT GOLDRICH
MONDAY, MAY. 14, 2018
Last year, Johnsonville created a limited run of t-shirts using a member’s (employee named Shawn) tagline, “You Can’t Spell SaUSAge Without ‘USA’” written across the chest. The shirts were a huge hit on the brand’s social channels, garnering a surprising level of positive sentiment.

This led agency Droga5 NT to the insight that consumers might be compelled to hear the story of Johnsonville’s All American origins and that the “Made in the USA” claim not only built trust and quality associations, but improved purchase intent as well. This insight led to a simple campaign premise: this summer, let’s remind America that “Johnsonville brats are made in the U.S.A.!”

So for the third installment of the “Made the Johnsonville Way” campaign, Johnsonville once again turned to its employees for the commercial ideas. This time around, four-year Johnsonville employee, Tammy, had her all-American commercial dream come true. After all, you can’t spell SaUSAge without U-S-A!

Hey @Johnsonville
...“You can’t spell sausage without U-S-A”?
Really?
That’s the best your marketing team could come up with?
Because you also can’t spell sausage without G-A-S.
Or S-A-G… or A-S-S…
