The Quack Aisle


If you've watched the movie Idiocracy (2006)and thought it was exaggerative- you need a current day reality check. If you didn't watch the movie..watch it !.
Whether humans over years get smarter or dumber, the buyers and the sellers should evolve together. The present day advertising strategies do make you wonder... Does the marketing industry really think the consumers are getting dumber?

Your shampoo has vitamins and antioxidants..Ever wonder why ? What next? "The Wholesome Breakfast Cereal -Great to eat and great to shampoo with?"
Your mineral water is oxygen enriched. Buying that is brilliant but only if you are a fish. Next time get a pair of gills free from the accessories isle.
The fried chips and ice-cream you bought are "zero cholesterol"? Good news ..they're all zero cholesterol .. Hope you also look for "Lead free milk-from the unleaded udder"

Advertisers, here's a suggestion. Say something like... "This can of coke will help you lose weight" with a fine print reading " drink it, place the can over your head and run a mile with it"
At least it's honest !
