“The best things in life come in Cellophane.” – Du Pont Cellophane Co.

Pinterest

What is more horrifying than finding a baby wrapped in plastic? Did the people behind this ad not watch the news or crime drama films and TV series?
Du Pont Cellophane Co. introduced the thin, transparent sheet to the United States, and though Cellophane has many uses particularly in food packaging, the way it was endorsed in this ad is extremely disturbing. Sure, the admen wanted to show that the product is transparent, and you wouldn’t have to guess what’s inside it, but nobody wants to see an infant inside a plastic bag.
The ad also points out that Cellophane can keep your food fresh and let it stay fresh longer, but again, it’s terrible to compare food in a plastic bag with a baby in a plastic bag. Moreover, the company wants to show that things wrapped in Cellophane are kept clean and sanitary, and while we do want to maintain a clean and sanitary environment for a child, we do not ever want to see a baby or toddler or child or any person inside a plastic bag.
