Yesterday I got on the subway and sat down. Two stops in I start to think, this is an oddly pleasant subway ride. Why am I in such a good mood?
Then I realize the car I’m in has been stripped of all advertising. No bright colors and sexy women and pithy slogans pulling at my attention.
Bliss.
- okr 4y agoI still remember my gray socialist upbringing. When i started to glue my playtoy with chewing gum paper from wrigleys, because it had this green, flashy, metallic finish and it looked awesome. I like the blinking distraction.
- iisan7 4y agograss is always greener =) I remember watching the movie Good Bye Lenin! (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301357/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301357/) and thinking how nice things would be if we had just one choice for every product in the supermarket, so I wouldn't research each one and what made them different, and decide which I wanted, only to have them disappear. I get why products made by a state enterprise with no regard to performance or consumer reception would make for a bad time, though. Store generic/"white label" brands do somewhat meet this niche. But I dig that minimalist, text or line drawing only esthetic!
