Friend linked me a video on advertisers in NASCAR and I could only make it like 2 minutes because it’s just them talking about the seemingly positive mental associations they have with auto parts brands and winning racers. Supposed to get to “weird” sponsors later, as if it’s more weird for there to be a Scooby Doo ad than an M&Ms ad for some reason.

A bunch of these other kinds of videos just talk about like Five gum ads and their “rise and fall” as if that literally matters at all.

    I definitely watched the video on 5 Gum for the same reason. I was in school during the 5 Gum campaign, “This is what it feels like to chew 5 Gum” was the catchphrase to say before doing anything extraordinarily stupid that you think is badass in the moment

    Wish I still had that video of me in 5th grade saying that then proceeding to try to jump off a 3rd floor balcony using a trash bag as a parachute and absolutely failing at it.
