It's kinda crazy that THE STUFF got made before the tide had truly turned against the tobacco industry
I mean, it's definitely much more directly an analogy for the petroleum industry, but especially that bit at the end where the capitalist pigs just shrug and say "we'll make a version that's marginally less addicting"
not that the Big Tobacco playbook was unknown in 1985, but yea wow

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io In the 80's the Evil Businessmen CEO's was an ever present meme. It wasn't necessarily about tobacco, just yet. #Monsterdon #TheStuff1985
