I’m not sure who you mean is shilling for corporations, but that’s certainly not the vibe I got from most of this thread.
It would be nice to see corporate profits wiped, especially after so much price gouging we’ve had to endure.
But why do you think that gouging will stop?
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)
