Abstract [en]
This paper explores how body soap is sold on a massive scale on the basis of 180 body soap packages collected on the hyper commericail marked in Scandinavia.
Advertisement and branding influence our way of relating to products. We are constantly exposed to notions that shape our mindset and attitude towards products and how to feel when consuming them.
Today most body soap advertisement and design operate on the principle of hedonism rather than practicality. It is no longer a necessity but an indulgence. This hedonism is the most dominant trope, but not the only one, when selling body soap hyper commercially today.
