Hershey's Cocoa

Check out the assumptions implict in this ad: 1) People had time to read short stories. (2) People enjoyed accounts of nostalgic, soothing non-events. (3) People felt an affinity with stock small-town American characters, such as tetchy grandmas and gruff, possibly ‘touched’ handymen. (4) People didn’t realize that in thirty years the whole thing would read like a chronicle of perviness. 5) That Hershey’s chocolate is good, when in fact everyone knows it is among the world’s worst brands.
