[edit] Yeah, but why 76?
Where does the number 76 come from? --Zahn 22:05, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- 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)
I thought of it, but now I seriously doubt that's the true source - as I still don't know the origin of the name Phillips 66... --Zahn 17:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Phillips 66 gets its name from Route 66 this is made known by their logo and how it resembles to the "Route 66" sign. Also the 76 does, as far as I have known, derive from 1776 --MJHankel 20:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
