I def think there are some elements of different cultures. In the UK, generally humour sells well.

I guess my mum used the proper hot water leaving me and my sister to fight over who washed in the last of it first . Wonder if that plays any part in my not exactly immunity to the annual belly bugs and colds that put everyone around me in bed for a day or two but rather annoys me as a minor inconvenience . Or it could be my mums universal cure for everything "if your not fit enough for school then your not fit enough to eat - plenty of water in the tap" lol , learned from her parents without a doubt . Smiles , I loved heavy rain because in Britain the sea or rivers are never warm and the rain gave me an excuse to return home dripping wet through because i hadn't enjoyed a fantastic day adventuring jumping off cliffs into the sea or or seeing how many miles i could walk , crawl , climb , swim upriver without leaving the water " honest mum i been down the park its not my fault its raining" 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beginning from the mid-70s, consumer and health advocates began to target baby formula companies, and in particular Nestlé, for their marketing of baby formula in the developing world, especially in Africa. Women were being encouraged -- and subtly mislead to believe that they were doing the right thing -- to give up breast feeding and use commercial formula instead. The result was a measurable increase in infant mortality, because of course formula is NOT as healthy as breast milk, but also because most of these women were too poor to afford to use it properly -- it was being diluted, often with contaminated water (because they didn't have ready access to clean water) to make it last longer. Beginning in the 80s, Nestlé in particular became the subject of boycotts because of its African marketing campaigns. They are still being scrutinized carefully, because they're still trying to push it in the developing world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ad never existed. Coca cola never contained cocaine, which is a concentrated extract from the coco leaf. The trivial amounts of coca leaf in coke was eliminated by the company starting in 1903. They kept the caffeine and sugar of course, and the high acid content of coke still present today. Dentists love coke, since it can dissolve your teeth enamel and promote bacterial tooth decay. It's a good rust remover and soldering flux too. Edited June 12, 2022 by Jaylinbridges 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is a fake, but here are some real vintage ads advertising soda to babies and kids: https://grist.org/article/food-vintage-soda-ads-can-you-spot-the-fake/ Unfortunately the problem of advertising sugary stuff to kids has only marginally changed via much pressure on the soda companies. They don't directly market to kids but found loopholes to advertise indirectly, and obesity and diabetes are at epidemic levels due to their connection with excessive sugar consumption I know there was success with getting the junk food vendors out of schools in many cases, but don't know what the status is currently with these efforts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
