The most successful propaganda campaign was the one from the early 20th Century that said bacon is a breakfast food. Up to that point bacon was often used as a sandwich topping or an ingredient for a dinner side dish. This campaign saw the sales of bacon skyrocket. The campaign was for the Beech Nut company and the creator was Edward Bernays. He was the nephew of Sigmund Freud and understood how to psychologically manipulate people. The story of Bernays also has a darker side. Joseph Goebels learned how to use propaganda by studying Bernays. He was also the driving force behind some of the early 20th Century Progressive movement's campaigns using propaganda to convince people that things along the lines of the government seizing private lands was for the better of the people.
