17.Shopping is not as simple as you may think!There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand 商標of product on the shelf.
Colouring,for example,varies according to what the producers are trying to sell.Health foods are packaged in greens,yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours.Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods,like chocolates,are gold or silver.
