Some popular products just keep chugging along year after year, despite all sorts of criticisms about how they are bad for you or the environment or just plain hoaxes of a kind...
People love Oreo cookie products. This poster with the Oreo donut amused me...how much more junk food can you get!
I just happened to be around the offices of the ad Agency (Tragos) representing another client when I saw them reviewing their intro campaign for Evian bottled Swiss water. This was back in the mid 1980's.
Tragos and his staff were laughing fit to burst about what a con the stuff was really, but how people would pay a lot of money for anything that was advertised the right way.
I don't know if Tide detergent is still as toxic for the environment as critics have always said, but as everyone keeps noting, "It gets clothes clean!" I confess to using it myself, despite always resolving to try something like the newest version of the more benign ( I imagine) Arm and Hammer detergent.
