If lacking something carbonated and sugary was a problem that sodas solved, then not smelling like a horse was a problem cleaning products solved.
Put another way: If "not smelling like a horse" was not a legitimate problem because marketers created it, then "not having something sugary and carbonated" was similarly not a legitimate problem, because marketers created it.
- diminoten 13y agoIt's not "not smelling like a horse", it's "body odor is bad". Did you read the article?
- jlgreco 13y agoYou, and the article, assert that the negative connotation of the smell is manufactured. By "smells like a horse", I mean "considers the smell to be bad". If "people smell like horses" is illegitimate because it is manufactured, then why isn't "I am unsatisfied with this wide array of beverages that are not simultaneously sugary and carbonated"? Either both are illegitimate because they are "manufactured", or both are legitimate. Did you read my comment?
- diminoten 13y agoFood and drink are different, because they come with built-in need satisfaction - "you're going to eat/drink, so why not eat/drink my product?" That need was not manufactured. Smelling nice was. It's different.
