From Snake Oil to Emu Oil

After reading “From Snake Oil to Emu Oil”, I actually wasn’t surprised. Business and corporate competition is no-holds-barred. Companies will say just about anything to make a dollar. Most of their claims are propaganda—farfetched stretches of the truth that are basically lies, but are held together by thin strands of fact. Even though competitors offer extremely similar products, they always have small contrasts, which each claims is the reason they are better than the next. I think it is almost comical that most companies put their “customers first”, but will tell them anything to get their money. Most business tactics are hypocritical.
