I used to work for a children's tv network and sat in on a meeting with some marketing folks from a toothpaste company that was teaming with our network and they had a real hoot telling us how in their commercials they would be loading up the toothbrush with about five times more toothpaste than the kids would actually need to brush their little teeth so that the kids would emulate it and, of course, go through their tubes of toothpaste faster. They thought it was funny. As a parent of two small children (at the time) I was appalled.

I realize that a lot of good people make their living that way, but I could never do it.
