The Hard Sell

Advertising: the rattling of a stick in a swill-bucket? Welcome to the show where the stick rattles back: The Hard Sell. Adverts from history, treated with the respect they deserve.

This episode: you either love it or hate it, and here's some Marmite too. The famously divisive yeasty umami bomb of peculiarly British character (despite being German) and how it was sold through the years despite 50% of people finding it disgusting. From health food to family friend to increasingly disturbing obsession with self-image. Take a little trip, take a little trip, take a little trip and see!
