9.) Where do you see branding? How do you feel about it?

I see branding everywhere. From food cans to clothes, branding is a part of my every day life. It’s a part of everyone’s lifestyle. I used to try and avoid the whole branding thing, but now I embrace it. I know that sounds really stupid, but I can’t run away from it, so might as well greet it with open arms. I am a Mac user, that’s branding. I don’t have it because of the brand name, I have it because I like its software better, but it’s still branding. The car I’m driving is branding. My chicken noodle soup is branding. Even my when people call tissues “Kleenexes”, that’s branding. To be honest, I never gave it so much speculation until this class. When I’m writing about it now, it’s kind of making me feel all weird and dizzy inside from realizing how much of my world consists of advertisement and “brands”.
