    1. Put more simply, the product is dirt — four-and-a-half ounces of it, sealed in a sleek black plastic baggie and sold for $110 plus shipping.

      Oh my god! It's like a family friendly version of Bell Delphine's bath water! It's a useless product sold for ridiculous prices to an audience that is desperately looking for something to fill a space. In one case, it was a want for some physical representation of an idol, and in this case, it was a want for a solution to COVId or a feeling of security. If we were to relate this to the game we played in the blog post assignment, then I would probably classify this as emotional manipulation. People looking to feel secure in their health while the pandemic rages were taken advantage of by this company selling dirt.
