... that the 2014 book Packaged Pleasures investigated the history of consumer culture and how the rise of packaging for products created "transmissible packets of pleasure" for popular consumption? Source: "This shift in consumer culture is convincingly explained by the fact that “fleeting and sensory experiences” were transformed into “reproducible and transmissible packets of pleasure” (p.7) thanks to the design of new technologies that enabled the pleasure-giving substances of a product to be intensified, produced in larger quantities, attractively packaged, and peddled to the masses via the marketing and advertising industry."
