Watching Century of the Self is a reminder of just how far the field of advertising has fallen.
Advertisers in 1950: “Add instructions to mix in an egg on the Betty Crocker package to help housewives get over their guilt at using store-bought cake mix and symbolize their gift of their eggs to their husband”
