Have you been BRANDWASHED? Indubitably, says marketing expert Martin Lindstrom. Not only are you being influenced to remember product names, but you're being manipulated to purchase products based on carefully scripted commercials and visuals linked to psychological tests. Your own biases and perceptions are being used against you, regardless of whether those perceptions reflect reality. Multinational corporations spend millions to discover what influences your choices, and then they bring to bear tools of deception based on that data. What's most surprising here is the depth and extent of the con, even among those who think they've chosen freely. Narrated by Dan Woren, Brandwashed shows that we are all just like the child screaming for that box of Sugar Pops set at his eye level for a reason.
