At first they did not notice my whistle until they saw the bucket of feed, now though, every time I whistle their heads pop up. Now every time I whistle, my horses come looking for my bucket of feed, even when I do not have food, like when I go on a run down…

Not only do they mix in the sounds of a deep fryer during lunch time commercials, but their memorable jingle will leave listeners contemplating whether they should visit the popular fast food chain for their next meal (106). As demonstrated through Keenan’s many examples, all of the human senses are vulnerable to corporate exploitation.
