So, lots of companies/products advertise as “Since X” (X = year of origin)
That’s not necessarily a sign of quality. I mean, if a car was made the same today as it was a long time ago, would that be a good thing?
“Chevy: Building the same cars since 1929”
“Ford: Stuck in a creative rut since 1934”
I especially like when they advertise as “Quality Products…” or “Made With Care…” in front of the “Since X”. Not because I give a sh1t, or believe them, but because it presents a great means of deceptive advertising.
I don’t know about you, but if a company advertised something as “Made With Pride Since 1979”, and then I found out they started making that product in 1945, I’d buy one. Cuz hey, at least they’re honest.
“Oh yeah, we’ve made them since ’45…but we were pretty ashamed of ourselves for quite a while. In ’79 we took out all the ingredients we knew were harmful…we’ve felt a lot better since then.”
