Commercials that I enjoy hearing are not from today. In my effort to avoid the commercials today in podcasts and radio I came up with my own daily listening podcast. It has devotionals and old-time radio episodes that help distract me and educate me and lead me to thinking about things that I want to think about.
It's funny listening to old-time radio. In the episodes from the 1930s, 40s, 1950s I hear commercials about cigarettes, tires that move water away like windshield wipers, and soaps that clean the floors to a shine without any rubbing. It's amazing!
But I enjoy the commercials from 70 or 80 years ago because they're so different from yet so much like today.
Use this and you will be better! Use this and you won't have any bitter aftertaste! Get a shine without having to expend any effort. It's amazing!
Marketing hasn't changed a whole lot in 100 years. I'm hoping that virtual reality will exert some influence of hope and change, but I don't know that it will.
We'll see...
