AmandaI saw this advert from 1956 on Instagram and can’t work out how a fridge from nearly 70 years ago basically has better features than the fridge I own now.
Barbara E Bj@Pandamoanimum , Those look great, but were too expensive for anyone to actually buy back then. THERE were other really expensive REALLY nice fridges then. The expense for the fanciest stuff is still a part of our buying experience. The fancy gets us to the store where a good sales person can rope us into buying something else that is still overpriced, but on payments.
@Pandamoanimum, Same sales tactics with products that don't last as long without needing maintenance. And, every year a new batch of fancy stuff comes out to lure out the ones who didn't see how it really works before... sales people keep their commissions whether you keep paying your bill or not.
