I haven't. If anything I despise them and will probably never buy their product.

If TV commercials didn’t work, then TV itself would have been a brief fad that peaked in the early 1950s and died off before the end of the decade.

No, but fricking facebook ads get me all the time.

It worked, but the beer was nasty. I only made one batch.

Have you ever eaten McDonald’s? (Have you ever bought anything that happened to have commercials?) How can you possibly know for sure this was in no way influenced by seeing thousands of ads every day over the course of your life?
It’s not ‘that’s it! i’m going to buy it now’ Subconscious patterns of name recogntion and familiarity…The advertising people are way more in touch with your psychology than you are

The entire world economy is driven by marketing and the money that is spent in it.

You're lying if you say you can't hear the banjos in your head.

I used to fall for some infomercials as a teen. Bought the mega memory one of whatever it was called. It sorta worked. I think. Actually, I can’t remember.

Head On. But then I lost the instructions and couldn't figure out how to use it.

Bought Mega Speed Reading one night in college after getting home from the bar shitfaced. Thought it would cut my study time drastically. News flash, It didn’t

This was back in the 90s so literally watching an infomercial and dialing in from the house phone.
