    Buying massive amounts of primetime commercial time to sell useless products by screaming their name over and over in the ad.

      HEADON! APPLY DIRECTLY TO YOUR FORHEAD!

      Man, those obnoxious TV advertisements can all fuck right on. It was even worse that it was a homeopathic (aka placebo effect) topical product.

        But you remember it, and repeat it…

        They turned their advertising into a meme before memes were a thing. I’m sure someone has purchased the product based solely on the memeness, so successful ad?

            The amount of brain power I have used to memorize stupid advertising is insane… It hits me sometimes like, BOOM! Tough actin’ Tinactin!

              Sounds like you’ve got a case. Better dial all 9s.
