In America, I think most of the corporate budget is used for advertising with a small fraction on the sub par product manufactured.
As a side note, not too long ago the manufacturer of my favorite cracker changed the box from a regular cereal type box to one I can not describe. It would not stack on the grocer shelves, nor in my pantry and it was just baffling to me what genius thought this up. For the first time in my life I sat down and wrote a letter to a company letting them know what I thought. A few weeks later I received some coupons and a letter in the mail. They were sorry I was not pleased but no one else had a problem so shut up and just be happy we will sell you the crackers. Well, low and behold, two weeks ago I was shopping and went to reach for my crackers and they were back in the original box. Not sure this story has any significance but there must have been more folks than myself who hated the box and they changed it back. Maybe we are not letting our displeasure with a product get to the manufacturer before we just switch and they don't know why?
Maybe I am just showing my age and I am sick and tired of "multitasking" or doesn't do anything well just a bunch of things mediocre.
Wore myself out and need my afternoon nap now. then maybe a beverage and some of my reborn crackers and cheese.
