In reply to the discussion: 7 Reasons This Muffin Mix Can Save America. [View all]Wednesdays
(20,498 posts)29. Among the many good points the article highlights, this line jumped out to me:
"Buy our products, or you won't be happy or sexually fulfilled" is the implicit message that lies to us each time we turn on a TV or catch up on the latest news.
You got that right! I can mayyyybbeeee understand it if it was something like toothpaste, deodorant, cologne, clothing, or maybe even a vehicle or interesting gadget such as a cellphone. But recently, I saw a TV ad that all but came out and said, "Eat this brand of yogurt, or else you won't get the girl." Talk about absurdity!
