      This was discussed on the show "Getsuyou kara Yofukashi". There's a supermarket somewhere in the boondocks that uses this as a slogan but the show made fun of the fact that this could be read either way. They then proceeded to talk to the manager and asked him if they had different products and whether they had them or not, he replied "ないものはない". He finished with "日本語は便利ですね~"
