Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly

S6E23 - Now Splinter Free: How Marketing Broke Taboos


Listen Later

This week, we explore how some of society's biggest taboos were broken by marketers. We’ll look at why toilet paper was a hush-hush product in the 19th century, which publication was the first ever to print an ad on its front page and how Lysol was originally advertised…as contraception.


Some taboos were broken years ago, some more recently than you may realize.
