None of these ads are effective on me.

If you put Seamonkeys in a can of Brawndo they grow fast. Why ? Brawndo has electrolytes.

Never had them as a kid. Tempted now… :slight_smile: Dang advertising! I don’t watch TV and I don’t get ads on my phone or computer.

WOW! You never had a packet of seamonkeys. Not even as pets?

There’s a fun legal theory (not necessarily accurate, and definitely unlikely to be upheld by a court, but fun) that advertising violates the U.S. antitrust acts, since it clearly would harm a consumer if it convinces them to buy a product that they otherwise wouldn’t buy, and harms competition since the product isn’t being bought that the customer would otherwise prefer.

Good point of view. I have found that most advertising is intentionally deceptive. You know the words: fastest, largest, up to, quality, guaranty, warranty, drive, train, private, privacy, secure, low mileage, bright, healthy, support, instead you get coulda, shoulda, woulda, not covered.
