The employees concoct all the time, that was their job. They made up some brazen campaign. Funny thing is they succeeded every day. They were fooling people around, making huge profits for the company. There were many gullible people. They bought whatever they saw in commercials. No one was able to figure out the truth. Consumption spread like a plague. But there didn't seem to be any sufferers. Everyone enjoyed the pleasure of general deception. The creators of those delusional hypocrites had a soft spot: they blindly trusted their employer.
