      I personally have a theory that they are indeed supplying pill manufacturers with high quality presses.

      Most high quality pills (not talking about contents) I have seen beeing confiscated in night clubs are branded with car or fashion brands.

      So maybe they are targeting people when they have a high happy hormone output.

      Like: woah that mitsubishi is making me feel soooo great and suff.

      Oh god the new Tesla’s are so strong.

      Sounds like something marketing departments would get off on.

        It’s easier for drug manufacturers to appropriate brands than to come up with their own. Car and luxury brands are common, but so are other brands like Netflix, characters from comics, cartoons, video games, etc. The manufacturers need an easily recognizable and memorable design.
