One of the games we played over Christmas involved the recognition of well-known products by their advertising slogans of 30 years ago. As I read many magazines at this time and also watched a phenomenal amount of TV, I was very good at this game. I know that Coca Cola is The Real Thing and that Frosties are Great! I know that Smartie people are Happy People and that Guinness is Good for You! I know all the little rhymes and can sing the little songs. But do I consume these products? No. None of them. Really I am proof that advertising doesn't work, so Huxley really didn't have to worry so much over that one.
