Plastik posted:It's not like M&Ms stores are a unique phenomenon by any stretch. Coca-Cola also has multi-story monstrosity stores, and what's more, they're in the same cities as the M&Ms ones and usually within about a block. They also have 8 foot tall polar bear puppets that you can pay American dollars to have a photo session with. There is also a Coke museum at the original bottling plant in downtown Atlanta. I mean, the museum is pretty justifiable, given the history of the area.

I like when people wear single color shirts with a big unmodified brand logo on the front. Shirts that they paid money for. Like people will just walk around unironically with a shirt that has the Coca-Cola logo on it that they paid for.

Ah, it's like when a bot was making phone cases from stock photos, but with locations instead of just random pictures. https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2017/7/10/15946296/amazon-bot-smartphone-cases

Finally, the way it was meant to be viewed. Considering that Christmas music and TV programming is already static and unchanging to appeal to Boomer nostalgia it only makes sense that the commercials also keep getting rerun as long as they can get away with.

Dante all like: And I gazed upon those men With hairy arms as wide as roads whose heavy brows bore ages "Hark! What spillage froths in your stone bowls?" said I as their feasting disturbed "Pebbles!" The tall one screeched "Fruited pebbles, a curse upon our teeth so neglected in life" The blonde one moaned his mouth a graveyard with nameless and broken headstones

I miss the days when saying "Happy Holidays" didn't offend fragile white racists. I mean, it always did, but they didn't have the internet to scream about it so loudly and publicly.

The article about a girl moving out to live on her own says, I poo poo you not direct quote "If a woman invites a man into her home she should expect whatever happens next" I was watching some random show about E Nesbit and the person basically said, "These two men were practicing seduction... nowadays it would be called rape." Full-on in-public trying to coerce a woman and get her to drink too much was socially acceptable.
