FWIW, though I rarely use tampons, the O.B. are my favorite. There’s no stupid plastic applicator. You just shove them in. And, they’re tiny. Live happily at the bottom of my purse, just in case!!
Indeed, but the theory of advertising is not to get you to buy a product that you weren’t otherwise going to. The point is that, if at some point in the future you needed to buy tampons, and were standing in the store, wondering which ones to get, well, the advertised brand would stand out as familiar and safe, even if you’ve long forgot the ad. Across a huge population, every day a few people are buying hygiene products for the first time, and the company wants their product to be the one those people choose.
If I recognize a brand name product, there is a good chance that I will actively choose the other option for specifically that reason. Unless I was already using the item, my rage and pettiness know no bounds.
Which is why so much advertising is geared towards young people. Some a pretty weird, designed to look like TikTok videos. No idea if it works, they give off a “hello fellow young people vibe” to me.
I also notice there’s a lot of Asian representation in the ads I see, and there are a lot of Asians that immigrate to where I live and/or come for university. Makes sense, someone comes to a new country, don’t have any preferences for brands in the new country. If there’s a person that looks like you enjoying a certain brand in an ad, it’s more likely that’s the one you’ll try first.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs
The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner…
The way you listed kinda sounded like this lol
Song Gil Scott-Heron Revolution will not be televized
If they are they best price/performance, why not? Are you willing to pay hundreds to avoid advertised products? Maybe invest that into avoiding advertising…
I’ve never bought tampons or pads, with wings, super absorbancy or that leaves me feeling fresh.
I must be at least partly immune.
(FYI a man who has seen way to many commercials for feminine hygiene)

This works only on certain people and everyone else suffers because of it.

I was being cheeky. ;)
Oh! Too cheeky for me. 😜
In a slightly similar fashion, I most certainly will not be asking my doctor if <insert random advertised drug> is right for me.

Depends how sexy the rebel sentiments coming out of it are, probably 🤷🏻
I’m not immune, but no chance I’m ever getting GEICO or Liberty Mutual insurance
