No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are nolonger free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts a subtleinfluence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisershave made a close study of human nature and have classified all our littleweaknesses.
Advertisers discovered years ago that allof us love to get something for nothing. An advertisement which begins with themagic word FREE can rarely go wrong. These days, advertisers not only offerfree samples, but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world aswell. They devise hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win hugesums of money. Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers tocapture the attention of millions of people in this way.
During a radio programme, a company ofbiscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits and send them totheir factory. They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked bya listener. The response to this competition was tremendous. Before long,biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory. One ladybrought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. It weighed nearly 500 pounds. A littlelater, a man came along with a biscuit which occupied the whole boot of hiscar. All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed. The largest was713 pounds. It seemed certain that this would win the prize. But just beforethe competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossalbiscuit which weighed 2,400 pounds. It had been baked by a college student whohad used over 1,000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat,and 400 pounds of various other ingredients. It was so heavy that a crane hadto be used to remove it from the lorry. The manufacturers had to pay more moneythan they had anticipated, for they bought the biscuit from the student for$24,000.
