Exactly this for me, too. I make lattes and cappuccinos pretty often at home. I don't drink dairy milk, so I'm constantly on the lookout for decent alternative milk brands. I've tried pretty much every brand I can find at local stores, and some that I have to order online... Except Oatly. Because when I lived in NYC, their subway advertising was so aggressive, in your face, and annoying, I swore I'd never buy the product. Because no brand that spends that much on advertising can possibly be price-efficient for their actual product. I've actually tried it at a friend's house recently, and really enjoyed it. But I still refuse to support a brand that advertises so heavily.

A brand that can afford to spend a large amount of money on advertising cannot afford to sell bad products, as otherwise people would buy it once and then never again.

Aggressive subway advertising can indeed be annoying, yet it has been quite efficient in this case: the milk of a brand advertised in the subway of a big city just got mentioned in a positive way on a tech website read worldwide.

  This is a hallmark of a religion. Even the failures are spun as successes.
