      This commercial in particular is bizarre, a commercial riffing on subliminal advertisement. I wonder if it common knowledge that subliminal advertising was being developed around that time. I feel like this would be good for an essay on psych history

      So while there commercials in the 40s, the memorable ad campaigns really didn't emerge until the 50s. Although none of that explains the title of this video - for that, I got nothin'... 🤔🙄
