"You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with [??] ..."

Carpenter's They Live was great pointing out how many 'OBEY's are buried in adverts. 30 years before, Vance Packard The Hidden Persuaders was published. 2010, Eldon Taylor's Mind Programming.

"Lower than pond-scum" = all the disciples of Freud's nephew Ed Bernays.
