  1. Is this DSI Superlative, Important, Believable?

    1. The Preemptive Attribute DSI (announce exclusive ownership, i.e the "tallest" ski mountain)
    2. The Magic Ingredient DSI (aka "fairy dust", a magic-sounding coined name like "Vapor Action", which is really just menthol)
    3. The Sleeping Beauty DSI (you claim a feature that all your competitors can claim, but haven't, for example, Sprite - 'the sugar-sweetened soda')
    4. The Golden Metaphor DSI ("Museum Quality Storage" for a product that is so dull there can be no superlative claim)
    5. The "2 Mints in 1" DSI (Certs is not a candy mint, or a breath mint, it's "2 mints in 1!")
    6. The Transplant DSI (You borrow a well established specialty. Easy to Use Home Banking Software is too hard to say or know what they mean, "Home ATM" uses a well known thing - ATM - and attaches it to their product)
    7. The Spin DSI (It's not called "Diet Beer", because it doesn't sound manly. Miller is "Light Beer", that doesn't fill you up so you can drink even more, very manly)
    8. The Pure Original DSI (create something entirely new, this tends to be product driven the DVD, or a Swiffer. The Swiffer is not a vacuum, broom or mop, it's a Swiffer)
