An advertiser's dream
At least once a week Monkey #1 tells me about some product or another that we "need". He rattles off all of the wonderful and amazing things said product can do and lays out a whole argument for why we can't live without it.
For example, yesterday while driving in the car, out of nowhere, he began explaining to us why we needed to get Space Bags:
"We should get Space Bags. You smash them down with a vacuum cleaner. They keep out bugs, dirt and moisture - moisture is water. If you get too much clothes you can put them in. They save room!"
He has done this with so many products - Orange Glo, The Perfect Brownie Pan, The Shark Steam Mop... The list is endless. He is the perfect gullible consumer that advertisers dream about.
