Well, it seems I am on a thing about updating previous posts. In previous posts here and here I had noticed the use of chemistry and the icons of chemistry to sell things. I observed that certain icons such as the periodic table, test tubes and Erlenmeyer flask have a high positive penetration in the minds of the general population.
So the advertizing companies are at it again with element symbols and the periodic table:
So the advertizing companies are at it again with element symbols and the periodic table:
Fr Friendly
Fd Friendly
It Intellectual
St Stylish
Ri Mr. Right
Rn Mr. Right Now
Rb Rebellious
Tr Trouble
Be Blue Eyes
Co Confident
Wi Wild
Ir Irrisistible
Ht Hottie
I also see that they have two symbols for Friendly (Fr and Fd) which suggests an isotopic relationship between the two. I would assume that Fr is reserved for short lived friendships while Fd is for long termed friendships.
All in all it seems to align with my assertion that the benign chemical icons can be used in pop culture without alarming people. So why the universal negative response to the word "Chemical" and the sinister popular image of complex chemical glassware?
I am supposed to be doing a structural analysis on a new crystal structure but am finding my mind is easily wandering. Three posts on a nearly moribund chemblog in one week is clearly an alarming symptom of work avoidance.Time for a vacation.
