Listerine, Halitosis, & The Fake Health Crisis | One-Minute What

from Lies We Bought · host Emily Rask

Your "morning routine" isn't a health choice - it's a series of manufactured solutions. In this episode of One-Minute What, we’re exposing Albert Lasker, the "Father of Modern Advertising" who realized that the easiest way to sell a product is to invent a problem first.Lasker didn't just meet consumer demand; he created shame. From turning floor cleaner into a cure for "Halitosis" to forcing orange juice onto your breakfast table to save a surplus crop, Lasker’s "Salesmanship in Print" changed the human psyche forever. Stop buying the "Reason Why" and start seeing the sales tool. This is your One-Minute What.
