But I always think marketing are unproductive at best, at evil at worst. They use all those marketing tools to deceive the customers to buying something they don't need nor truly want. Wouldn't it be nice if every company just publish all unbiased data about their product and let custom make fully informed decision. Unfortunately, in business world, things only work this way.

Maybe it's just an illusion we create to cheat ourselves. We pay more, so it gotta taste better. Sometimes I have a doubt those bouquet bread really taste better than supermarket bread.

Arts require uniqueness, but for daily things practicality should overrule anything else. I think with enough advertising and consumer education, we can re-condition the emotional connection with any other character, maybe even the plastic bag.
