JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Just something to think about-

These are the things that worry, puzzle me, and what I like to learn more about. The next little entry is stream of thought, so bare with me.

This scares me- I know that this type of marketing and advertising has been around for a while, But are we ever going to be free of the advertisement?

Do they own us? Who is the THEY?

What type of personality do you fit in? look at the website-

just a note, Tacoda was just bought by AOL, who owns AOL? Time Warner cable.

This is what Time Warner owns. (they use to own a lot more. But broke down the company into 4 companies, maybe not to lose out on stock, maybe to gain more in the future?)

Going back to Tacado-


Included in their website are success stories-

Here are some quotes-

Snapple Premium Green Tea is the healthiest tea
available on the market and that drinking it should be part of a
daily healthy routine.

How does one know that it is the healthiest tea? Do we as a consumer ever ask, why and how is it good for us?

hummm what are your thoughts?
