In Response to Ashely Guidi's post "Bottled Water, for better or for Worst"

I drink probably 4 water bottles a day times 31 days. Yeah, thats a lot of water. Someone people even drink more then me. It is crazy what americans can get tricked into buying. Who would have thought that Americans would buy case after case of expensive water where you have tap water (which some bottled waters come from) that is protected by your local goverment. It is crazy to think that people would do that but they do, and im a fan of bottled water myself because of the convience of it mostly but still, it is amazing how someone can take something so blah like water and turn it into a billion dollar industry.

Easter- Marketing Masterpiece

When you think of Easter what do you think? Bunnies, eggs, candy. Thats all marketing for you. Easter is a holiday celebrating the rise of Jesus yet when you think easer you don't even think of how the holiday started, just how it has become. That is all because of Marketing. Someone one day took the idea of easter and fliped it on its head for massive massive profits. All the cards and candy and little kids and girl friends wanting cute little stuffed animals and easter baskets. This is the perfect example of someone taking something so boring and turning it into a cash cow where people spend crazy money making there families happy. Can you think of any other situations where a holiday is explotied by marketing?
