The Branded Life

by mr. oak
I read that by first grade, you can identify over 200 brands. It's a crazy thought showing how much brands affect our lives. So here's my day off the top of my head - I think this reveals a lot about me and how much my life is branded.

I barely go a day without Coca Cola, Verizon, Dell (though I'm trying to break my laptop addiction) and Toshiba... good job on the pictures. That had to take some time.

i've never heard of zondervan. my list would be a little less.
i really can't think of my brands or i would share them. i know i'm using crest as far as toothpaste but i really don['t pay attention to the things i'm using that much. microsoft i think anyone who has a computer is probably using something by them.

Was this inspired by the guest on the Colbert report the other night or it just a coincidence?

I don't know if I'd use the term "live without". People survived for centuries without using any kind of brand name stuff. I'm sure I could survive. I wouldn't like it though.
In a purely metaphorical sense of "couldn't live without"...
CHAPSTICK!!
Then Crest, Dell, whatever brand my boyfriend's car is (I don't know what it is. >< ), Creative Zen (mp3 player), and whatever brands my journals and pens are.

I am not too surprised. When my boys were still in car seats (in the old days when by three they no longer used them), They would know all the common symbols for certain places. I would here them say McDonalds or Browns Chicken or Taco Bell. When we were potty training, my one son always had to go "potty" when he saw a gas station.
Brands do have an identity in our lives but I am not sure how much I identify with them with exception to the cheap ones are great.
Ones I have used most my life are Crest (yep I am a Crest Kid) and Cherrios.

@NightlyDreams@xanga - Zondervan is a brand of Bible..they're a publisher anyway. Just thought I'd answer a question you didn't really ask...necessarily.

I like this post...I may have to steal it's concept at some point for my blog. (I'll give you full credit though, of course)
I did find the Chef Boyardee one quite funny.
There's only one brand that I'm really big on...that would be Apple!
