No, nobody has told me about stuff they saw in ads. Almost all the things I have ever paid for, have been found one of these ways: • Randomly: I don’t care what toothpaste or soap etc. I get, I just grab the closest/cheapest thing off the shelf. • While manually searching for specific traits, ingredients or features. • Habit/Lack of choice: Coke and Pepsi are the only colas of their type available in most places. • Via word-of-mouth by people who found them the same ways. This includes asking for recommendations on online forums etc.
