Pyrex Offers Wedded Bliss

When a couple marries, they do so with the goal that their union would continue forever, and it appears that the renowned company Pyrex was aware of this. Pyrex is a respectable brand that has existed for eons, yet this old advertisement contains claims that the company may not be able to maintain. The slogan “Successful marriages begin in the kitchen” implies that a newlywed couple who utilizes their product will certainly remain together. It goes on to suggest that “Pyrex will make failure-free cooking simple,” implying that marriages are doomed if the wife’s cooking fails. Way to apply pressure, Pyrex.
