If its the first - Since when did double negatives make a good slogan?

For a long time - since 1968 - the slogan has been "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee." Because, of course, everyone likes Sara Lee, or that's what you were supposed to assume! It is marketing, after all. Marketing isn't always about grammatical accuracy, it's about grabbing attention and being memorable.
You can find the slogan still being used, one example of it being used by Sara Lee now is below - you can see it written out on their website next to their logo.
I expect it was hard to understand on purpose - either way, "doesn't like" or "does it like," it makes an impact.
There is a new marketing scheme now - "The Joy of Eating."

Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee. Meaning everyone likes Sara Lee- which is wrong because I do not like Sara Lee (sam I am) I prefer Marie Callender. I have never liked the slogan myself.

It is, 'Nobody Doesn't Like Sara Lee'. Whoever came up with this should have been canned, don't you think?

Haha, it's "Nobody doesn't like". I used to think it was "Nobody doesn't, like Sara Lee" and it made absolutely no sense to me. Took me a while too, lol. Why don't they just change that already?

It's ambigous on purpose, and at different times, the company has used both slogans. Currently, the official slogan is "does it like".

"Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee" is incomplete and totally wrong English! "Nobody doesn't (WHAT) like Sara Lee!" Obviously the right option will be. "Nobody does it like Sara Lee!!!"
