      Does it? Can you even remember a product that you bought after looking at its ad?

        Games probably. If I’m browsing the store looking for new games, any games I’ve seen in ads will probably pique my interest more because I recognise them.

        Same with food, movies, so many other things.

      Let me take a look at what I buy. No, everything has been reviewed, thought upon (cos I ain’t rich) and then maybe bought.
