Do you believe that subliminal advertising works?

Yes I do. I also think that playing certain kinds of music & painting the walls a certain color can affect your behavior.

Yes, it does I remember Coco Cola doing this "flashing images of the drink, in some other advert" wasn't this practice illegal?

I wouldn't really know. I don't know if I can figure it based on my own experience (it's subliminal, isn't it). I didn't read any studies about it, or nothing.

I have no idea.

I havent seen a lot of examples of this, but where most people see a man holding his penis in the Camel camel in the front leg, I see a woman's ass in the back leg. It really looks like she's bent over, ass and beaver facing the world.
Am I the only one who see's it?

From what I recall, studies showed that at best, it didn't work as well as regular advertising...and the more subliminal, the less effective.

I almost never purchase anything that I have seen or heard advertised.

How do you get half of 105 volunteers?

I'm sure it works on some people more than others. The insidious plan to make us all purchasing machines goes a lot deeper than subliminal advertising.

saw?

Yes you I believe willthere are instances when it is used. They did extensive studies and then in the seventies everyone found out about it. It became the butt of many jokes. I am sure it is still in use, otherwise would parents really feed their kids sugar all day? The kids around me eat candy, sweets and crap every day, all day. If parents knew, really knew about all the crap that they are told is the right thing to give their kids I am sure they would make better choices. Pharmaceuticals (we really need an acronym for that) are my guess huge in this. I'll bet there is subliminal in those hundreds of commercials on the tv.

I look like I was babbling. The subliminals in the ads were test runs for bigger fish. If the tv ads is showing kids eating candy all day, it is numbing our common sense.
Lurid, did you mean the cheap parlor trick subliminal ads? Or the more intense government sponsered ones we don't know about?

No, I have seen several programs about this and it does not influence me at all. I seldom buy something visualized on the television. I do research on important items that I want to buy.

Yesss... SPAM! SPAM!

Pharmaceutical companies are insane with greed and power. Their commercials are designed to make you think you have a condition you don't, or may not even exist, and then convince you that you need something you don't. Like for allergies. They say 'this one isn't approved for outdoor allergies'. Heelllloooo!!! If it works on one allergen, it works on them all. I get so angry watching tv because of these commercials. Sending you to websites to take tests...I could go on forever here.

Me too, how about a doily

Well, if I plan on getting up and walking out of here I guess I'd need one.

In some situations yes, not uniformly and with all viewers.

It's actually illegal

Yep.
Remember the 'rats' ad by the Republicans?! It worked already.

Yes I think our subconscious brain picks up more than our conscious brain ..
Now I remember yrs ago at the Drive In theaters, that they used subliminal advertising for customers to buy popcorn and hotdogs...
I think it is illegal to use subliminal advertising now. Does anyone know?

Have you ever ( buy) heard of Derren Brown? He ( my) will prove to you that it does ( product) work.. Of course it does..

Yes

I've seen it I didn't see a man holding his penis. It looked like a woman showing everything.

I don't know. I know very little about it.

Yes, I do.
