50 year gap between these GE commercials. The first one has a slogan of “live better electrically,” the commercial sings you can have your cake and eat it too. I was listening to an NPR segment, saying this was essentially propaganda convincing people to use a lot of electricity (to make lives easier) and to spike electricity bills, win for GE.
Jump from 1957 to 2007 and we definitely had our cake, ate it too and now there is nothing left. On a positive note big corporations PR depends on social and environmental consciousness, which is awesome.
