The isocolon is particularly useful to advertisers. The parallelism can imply that two statements are the same thing even if they aren’t. ‘Have a break. Have a Kit-Kat’ is a clever little line because it uses isocolon to try to make two rather different things synonymous. The same goes for ‘The future’s bright. The future’s Orange’.
