When I read about selling strategies in supermarkets, I learned that they often make the first aisle you encounter after entering narrow, to take speed out of your movements and have you stay longer. Also that the more expensive products are not only on eye level, but also toward the right of the shelve, as apparently people start scanning the products fast and from the left and slow down the further to the right they get.

Moon, you are herewith reminded! 😉

I remember years and years ago I saw a documentary where they had the bosses of Coca-Cola and Pepsi take sips from glasses of Cola and try to identify theirs. They couldn’t! 🙂

Yep, my sentiments exactly.

Titans, you caught me cold! 🙂

A documentary I saw where a 4 year old girl was asked which brand of macaroni & cheese was best, said it was Spongebobs, even though she’d never tasted it, and in an interview earlier that day said the mac&cheese she ate then was the best kind ever. She started crying when the mom didn’t buy the spongebob kind.

Advertising isn’t to inform us, and good education would get in the way of advertisement working the way it should. Namely critical thinking, and knowledge of scientific basics.

It’s ridiculous how people say they like for instance Coca-Cola but can’t stand Pepsi. You’re basically paying for the label, and without it you wouldn’t be able to tell which is which.
