Mind Altering Air Fresheners!?

Dec 05, 2007 03:36

What is with ad companies these days?  First it was the demonically possessed gaming system, now air fresheners are selling themselves as mind altering substances. Why in the name of all that's holy would anyone want addictive, mind altering air fresheners!?

For those lucky enough not to know what I'm talking about: Febreze

There's also a scented candle one by Glade or somesuch.  It isn't quite as freaky, but it still suggests that people are using them for something more than mere air freshening.  It shows a woman lighting the candle, then pulls back to reveal that it's drawn everyone in the house, each person sniffing mightily.  Gah.

Are these ads supposed to make me want to buy the products or avoid them like the plague?

weird, advertising
