Is Marketing the Root of All Evil?
Gillette doesn’t feel like a sales pitch. It feels genuine. It is a marketing success.

Mattel has released a new Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes and comes with her own glucose monitor. The next doll to be released is Meningioma Barbie. She comes with insurance, but her insurance doesn’t cover her treatment. Being released simultaneously is a Luigi Mangione doll.
