Many years back I dated a fine Canuck who worked for Labatts which really doesn't have much of anything to do with this thread but I felt like saying it anyway.
I don't get beer ads -- period. I have never tried a beer because of an ad. As with smokes, I have a brand and I don't go elsewhere. Am I alone in this? Are other people really driven to try beer (or just about any other product) by ads? While it is true that ads can at times be amusing, I just don't feel that they work as intended (at least not on me). I know about the whole subconscious argument but I think perhaps the fact that my shopping habits have not really changed much in the past 10 years or so counters that as does the fact that I don't see a lot of ads anyway yet I still buy shit. Couldn't they just lower the price of stuff instead of paying for ads?
