The Sara Lee slogan is....."Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee." Most people think it is "Nobody does it like Sara Lee", but you can check any package or the website.

It means "Everybody likes sara Lee" so yes it is a double negative.

Yes. It is a pun, and should not be taken as serious English. It's like asking whether Kwik Kopy is a legitimate alternate spelling. Ignorant people may claim that it legitimately means "Everybody likes," but that's like using the non-word, IRREGARDLESS, to mean "regarding" or "only if," and not as a mistake for REGARDLESS.
