Jim Linderman blog about surface, wear, form and authenticity in self-taught art, outsider art, antique american folk art, antiques and photography. Dull tool and dim bulb were the only swear words my father ever used. Items from the Jim Linderman collection of vernacular photography, folk art, ephemera and curiosities.

Cellluloid Season Opener from Japan Football Frenzy and Frito-Lay
It's a fall football feeding frenzy from Frito-Lay. Not long ago, a strategist for Frito-Lay said what we have known for a long time, but few consumer product companies have dared to say. In an article discussing the snack market, a Frito-Lay exec announced they would be developing snack product in two categories: for the rich and for the rest of us. “The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer,” said Ann Mukherjee, chief marketing officer at Frito-Lay North America. So henceforth, they will be aiming their empty calories at the "value" customer while continuing to create unhealthy crud for the long gone middle-class.
For the record "books" Frito-Lay, one company which is owned by Pepsi, has 40% of the snack food market in the United States, and 30% in the rest of the world. ONE COMPANY. Do you have ANY idea how many effing Cheetos ® that is? Enjoy the game!
