Advertising, marketing, propaganda. It programs people’s brains. It is extremely powerful.
There are dozens of these mass brain-programming campaigns going on right now. It’s been happening for many years … maybe centuries.
The effects can linger for many years. Even passing to the next generation.
People who love to drive longs distances. People who love mayonnaise. People who react strongly at the mention of drugs.
Wait, what’s wrong with mayonnaise?
Nothing. But there’s this segment of the boomer generation that’s notoriously obsessed with it. They put it on everything.
No doubt they all got exposed to the same tv commercial and it took.
I don’t love to defend advertising/marketing, but your statement implies that once something has been advertised, organic interest/enjoyment becomes impossible.
Sure, there might’ve been a big ad push that rocketed mayo to the top of people’s condiment lists. But there are dozens of other things that could also create interest (new foods that pair well with it, new recipes that are shared culturally, loss of a competing product, diet changes)
Or they grew up Bri’ish and were force fed it with fish and potatoes.
Mayo is a god damn perfect condiment, it goes with just about everything!
I will fight you over this!
It is a decent lube at best
Nah it’s a fucking horrible lube.
For sandwich mate… For the sandwich I swear
Yeah then where’s the bread huh?
Bizarre, I’ve never encountered this, but maybe I’m just avoiding that segment of people, or the mayo lobby wasn’t as on point in Oz
I know this guy who puts it on jello
I knew a guy who put it on sandwiches with peanut butter
This one read like a joke with a punch line
He died because his job got outsourced to the Philippines and he couldn’t afford medical care when he got sick.
Very USian experience
😮
Don’t get me fucking started
I was scrolling down to actually read some examples and those are it? Seriously?
A little help would be nice.
