There was a time when people didn’t realize they had bad breath or ring around the collar or dandruff. Thankfully, marketing departments across the land made sure to let us know, encouraged our insecurity and got us buying Head and Shoulders Shampoo and Scope Mouthwash. I believe this is called “manufactured anxiety” and it works to sell all kinds of things, from deodorant to missiles.
