My awareness of Truth - in - Advertising, deception in marketing and the the plain silly ass Commercials we have to put up with originated when I read what I thought was a Chocolate milk carton. Instead of Chocolate milk this stuff was "Swiss style Chocolate type Milk drink". I other other words it wasn't Swiss, not Chocolate and not even considered to be Milk. I don't really remember just how ago this was but it was years and years in the past. From that point on I spent a little extra time reading labels and paying attention to how things were worded on TV, packaging and really everywhere.
Over the years I have successfully driven my Wife crazy when I freak out over some little thing that catches my eye on TV. Luckily now we have a DVR and I don't have even need see new commercials let alone the ones that drive me crazy.
So, since this is the very first posting on this Blog I'm not exactly sure how limited or expanded it will be.
It could go from Lame commercials to hidden repackaging or just about anything that is wrong (or right) in today's Marketing
Here's a question:
What long running and successful ad campaign is based on a Dirty Saying?
