    Remember, You are not immune to propaganda. Even if it made you hate that brand, it still now lives in your headspace, defining Snicker's place in relation to its competitors. The memetic ordinance functioned, its just missed its mark.

      IIRC advertising works to at least a small degree on most people, but most people also think they're immune to advertising.

      Most ads aren't try to entice you to order the product or service within a minute of seeing it. They're just trying to stay in your popular consciousness so the people that do choose to buy that product have a sense of familiarity with it.
