How many people are still unfamiliar with Coca Cola? Yes, some advertising is like you say. Inform a consumer about a product. Most of it isn't like that. It's often emotionally manipulative, pressing heavily on social engineering. They make you feel smelly, ugly, fat, antisocial, abnormal, unlikeable, and just downright uncool -- unless you buy their product, at which point you will be a high status individual showered with potential mates in your expansive home while living a life of idle leisure. At least, that's how about half the ads on TV make me feel.
