The World's Best Everything
You've seen the signs, the glasses, the t-shirts, the lollipops that all make pretty big claims. Whether it's Michael Scott's World's Best Boss mug or that hilarious clip from Elf there sure are a lot of "world's best" somethings out there. Because I am one of the most gullible people, for about 2 seconds I believe these claims. My eyes twinkle and the word "really?" pops into my head out of excitement and anticipation. Okay, let's separate the wheat from the chaff: which world's best claims do you fully support? Which are totally bogus? Favorite World's Best signs? Something tells me that the fact that the world's best coffee signs are MASS-PRODUCED may mean that the rating system is a bit biased.
“I think that pretty much sums it up.”
Lost in Translation?
Apparently this sign says, “The World’s 2nd Best Ice Cream.” Now we’re being a little more fair…you realize you’re pretty good, but not THAT good. Kudos for being honest and modest.
“I mean, look at Ralph Fincher, just across town. He’s got 16 grandkids in three states, and he never forgets a birthday. He knows each grandchild’s favorite candy and always has a bedtime story at the ready. Just to be mentioned in the same breath as a grandpa like that is an honor. I’ve only got the one grandkid, and here I am being lauded as some sort of world champion in the field? I’m speechless. "
“Congratulations! You did it!”
Hands down, my favorite part of Elf. Am I alone in this?
This is it!
THE world’s best! Best what? Chile peppers? Image of chili peppers? Food in general? You know, if you’re gonna make an outlandish claim, why not just go all the way. No noun needed.
(Also, what is the pepper with the face doing to the other pepper?)

World's Best Cat Litter
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this dangerously in-your-face statement. But I have my doubts.
You’re telling me that a notoriously finicky and bitchy animal — cats — have all agreed that THIS is the best cat litter? In the World? And you’re so confident about this that you’re not just plastering it all over your marketing materials, website, and commercials, but you’ve actually incorporated it into the name of your PRODUCT?
I don’t think so.
