robinblokeHow much of a victim of marketing are you?
The point is, not if you can answer amusingly or differently, that you actually know what the slogans or situations are marketed to. Some of these are quite old.
Answer the following to see...
1) One of your friends trips and falls ass-first into a paintpot, they're utterly stuck, it's utterly amusing. It's a _______ moment.
2) What is the real thing?
3) What is slightly rippled with a flat underside?
4) What tastes better than an armadillo?
5) Some bloke manages to perform some amazingly impressive feat. What does he quite obviously drink?
6) What perfume should a woman wear to get strangers to give her flowers?
7) Name the mild cigar.
8) What is 'the best a man can get'?
9) What does the lady love?
10) What would you need to love someone 'enough' to give them?
1) Kodak
2) Coke
3) Boost
4) Dime
5) Carling black label
6) Impulse
7) Hamlet
8) Gillette
9) Milk tray
10) Your last rolo
All done? Rate your life as a by-product of advertising as follows:-
1-3: You are what advertisers fear most. Go you.
4-6: Hapless by-product, although not entirely absorbed the call of commerce is strong with you.
7-9: You have been assimilated, your life has been sucked into the world of consumerism. Welcome to the dark side.
10: You are a material girl/boy and you know it, you know the slogans, the bargains, the slang and know what you need to be to be 'hip' - Enough money to buy everything on TV.
