I think that if advertisements did not exist the world would have a lot more things that were well made. Because instead of being convinced on what to buy because a company has a good marketing team and great advertisers and models and photographers, you would buy products simply because of their ability to function well or because of their good taste. You would go into a store and buy the shirt that looked the best and fit the best and felt the best, not because years of advertising has taught you that GAP is better than some random “no-name” brand. And not only would products be of better character, but you would pick things that are better for you regardless. Some people just don't look good in certain types of clothing, but they buy them anyway because they are popular. In the same way with food and drink. You wouldn't buy food because it has a strong brand name on it and because you have been fooled into believing that it's better than the other foods because it has a better advertising campaign, but simply because it tastes better or because it was made with better products. And if that was the case than maybe we would be more concerned with how products affect the environment or whether or not people were abused or taken advantage of in the making of this product. And not to mention the fact that prices would be much better for the consumer because we wouldn't be willing to pay more for something simply because it was brand name. Companies would be more competitive with their prices because none of them would have the upper hand in popularity and know that they can charge more an get away with it. In essence we would have better quality, safer production, and better prices.
