    The biggest problem with modern advertising is that they try to sell you on the idea before establishing what the idea even is.

    This is definitely a running theme with ads, in fact there has been multiple instances where I have seen an ad, and despite seeing the entire duration I literally have no idea what was actually been advertised to me haha.

      Probably to make you go look it up and get the brand further planted in your mind. Just my hunch.

        Yeah definitely, I was thinking it was so you keep watching the ad till the end to work out what it’s for which is in the same vein
