"The Greatest Things Since Sliced Bread."

I think this could be a hyperbole, irony (although I'm not very sure), an idiom, metaphor, or simile.

anonymous · Answer

Hopefully, it's not a hyperbole, though, because I already have:

The Sparkly-Bright Whiteriffic Awesomeazungness of Crest Plus+ Mintilicious Cooltastic Tingly-Ticklishness of Scope Equals=the Most Chilly-Chill Mouthwow Ahh-Ohhh Experience of Scrumpityliciousness.

 Such a hyperbole.
