Does advertising really work
-
@Richard_Littler I remember songs from ads from 40 years ago. We like to say that ads don't work on us, but believe me, they do.
They work if we buy the thing. I can sing the shake and vac song, but I've never bought the stuff in my life.
Also there are ads on tv that I remember every time they come up, but couldn't actually tell you what they are for. I just zone that out a lot of the time.
I'm an advertiser's nightmare. I buy more or less the same groceries every week, usually based on price. I buy almost all my clothes in charity shops. I hang onto tech as long as I can.

Everyone I know mutes TV ads when they come on.
Everyone I know uses ad-blockers online.
I avoid sites that say 'You can't view this site unless you turn off your ad-blocker.'
And some ads are so annoying &/or repetitive that I refuse to use the product on principle.@Richard_Littler I almost spent 80 dollars on licorice after seeing ads over and over. I'm proud of myself for resisting, but also sad I didn't get a huge box of licorice in the mail.
