I actually disagree with many items on your list. Th ones that have lasting power (very few) were not marketing plays at all.
The ones that were a flash in the pan (such as the pet rock) made a few million and petered out into nothingness ... those are the true examples of products that are pure marketing plays.

Compare any bullshit exercise machine you see on late night infomercials to the Peloton product: That’s the difference between marketing and product.
50 Shades of Gray was much more than a marketing play. It’s definitively the most captivating erotica book of all time - despite what haters say.
