"Of course, 'communities' of Uneeda Biscuit buyers and of other brand-name consumers were held together by much thinner, more temporary ties than those that had bound earlier Americans. But they drew together in novel ways people who might not otherwise have been drawn together at all -- people who did not share a relgious or political ideology, who were not voyaging together on the prairie nor building new towns."
-- Daniel Boorstin,
"Consumption Communities,"
in The Americans: the Democratic Experience,
(NY: Random House) 1974,
p. 147
