The content may have been bogus, but it was very effective at reaching most of the population. People who grew up during that era still remember it. If you can come up with a few simple things to do, it is possible to reach most of the public. But we are our own worst enemies. When we have the opportunity, instead of giving the few simple things everyone could do, we create a lot of confusion.
