Commercial from back in the day when Starbucks actually had to advertise…haha. Clips like these remind me how much is spent on advertising for so many different things, applied to coffee in my case. MILLIONS of dollars for ad campaigns- mind, I am not going to scorn this because that is a whole other business that gives work to people (and as a journalistic profession, well, you can see my bias!). But the idea that this is ridiculously unfair just won’t leave my dog-gone head. To throw in a Mad Men moment, people like Don Draper who work for advertising agencies are making the big bucks off of packaging an item; technically, they have no responsibility over those who produce what they are presenting. But if people only knew, if more were informed, if the word could get out about how abused these workers are…. maybe something would finally change.
