The slogan is Fresh to You.
Words mean things. It's true. In addition, pronunciation or inflection in the pronunciation of words can change the meaning of the phrase or sentence.
For example, take this delivery truck for a vending machine company. The slogan is "Fresh To You".
So, is that "FRESH to you"? Meaning, here is something fresh for you to consume. It's fresh and it's here just for you. The vending machine is bringing fresh food to you!
Or, "Fresh to YOU"? Meaning, to YOU, it's fresh. Because, YOU are buying lunch from a vending machine. Otherwise, this food is far from "fresh".
Yeah, I'm not sure either.

Good stuff.

Thanks John. Yeah, I always snicker when I walk past that delivery truck.
