Advertising, marketing, propaganda. It programs people’s brains. It is extremely powerful.
There are dozens of these mass brain-programming campaigns going on right now. It’s been happening for many years … maybe centuries.
The effects can linger for many years. Even passing to the next generation.
Wait, what’s wrong with mayonnaise?
Don’t get me fucking started
Nothing. But there’s this segment of the boomer generation that’s notoriously obsessed with it. They put it on everything.
No doubt they all got exposed to the same tv commercial and it took.
Or they grew up Bri’ish and were force fed it with fish and potatoes.
I don’t love to defend advertising/marketing, but your statement implies that once something has been advertised, organic interest/enjoyment becomes impossible.
Sure, there might’ve been a big ad push that rocketed mayo to the top of people’s condiment lists. But there are dozens of other things that could also create interest (new foods that pair well with it, new recipes that are shared culturally, loss of a competing product, diet changes)
Bizarre, I’ve never encountered this, but maybe I’m just avoiding that segment of people, or the mayo lobby wasn’t as on point in Oz
I know this guy who puts it on jello
I knew a guy who put it on sandwiches with peanut butter
😮
Mayo is a god damn perfect condiment, it goes with just about everything!
I will fight you over this!
