“CALVIN: Here's an ad for a new gum called "Hyperbubble," and it says, "If you're not chewing Hyperbubble, you might as well be chewing your cud.
Ooh, great copy!
CALVIN: Gosh, am I cool enough to chew Hyperbubble? Maybe I'm NOT.
Maybe if you chew Hyperbubble, you BECOME cool
CALVIN: Or maybe if you chew it, everyone ASSUMES you're cool, so it doesn't matter if you are or not!
What do you think?
Should I buy some?
HOBBES: If your emotional security depends on satisfying a need you didn't have until you read the ad, go ahead.
CALVIN: I think I will! Boy, I'm glad I get this magazine.”
― The Days Are Just Packed
