And Now For Another Pointless Post About Commercials
I don't know if I should be more upset about the plot holes I'm finding in Dunkin' Donuts commercials, or about the fact that I'm worrying about the plot holes I'm finding in Dunkin' Donuts commercials.
It's a critical analysis of advertising trends and how they affect, reflect, and deflect the ways we think about ourselves and the world around us.

Why Moxie?
Moxie is the first soft drink to be mass-marketed in the United States. Due largely to its advertising, it was the most popular beverage in America in the first half of the 20th Century before being eclipsed by Coca-Cola.

Moxie advertising merchandise is treasured by antique collectors the world over.
