Product placement is HUGE in the marketing world. It's all about impulse buying. Nobody leaves the house intentionally just to go buy some gummy bears. There's a book called Coercive Atmospherics. It's fascinating... all about how retail planners manipulate people into buying things they don't want or need with sounds smells and geography. For example... ever wonder why shopping malls are so confusing? It's intentional. If you can't see the store you're looking for, you look at everything else. And they appeal to your senses while you're wandering around.... the smell of donuts, the music, etc. [investopedia.com]

It may help with the kids, but you realize as well as I do that adults are going to buy any f** thing they want to and shove it down their fat ass throats and then wash it down with a 55 gallon drum of diet soda with a straw. I will apologize for the way that sounds but please understand that I'm surrounded by a bunch of grossly overweight Trump supporters.

Good.

Right on! My first hourly job in HS was with a grocery store whose owner felt it was wrong to trap customers and their families between displays of garbage at the checkstands. Pretty cool, thought I.. He died, Kroger bought it ...and now they’re like all others..

It would be great to see CA take the national progressive lead again, seems they’re tryin!
