99% Invisible: 148- The Sizzle

Right now there are fewer than 200 active trademarks for sounds. A surprisingly small number, considering that sound has the power to make - or break - a brand.
Hmm jazon that's an interesting point.
I worked at a Chevy's one summer and it was no secret that the sizzle was just for show. Also the fajitas were plated on that high sizzle platter with separate plates for rice/beans and guac/pico/sour cream which made them look a lot bigger than they actually were.
Also man, that original Mac sound. Painful!

I enjoyed discovering that the iconic Mac startup sound was snuck into the computer. The best things always seem to come in through the back door.
Rereading my last sentence, I think I'm either referencing a blues song or a very naughty pulp novel.
