We eat your brains - scepticism on advertising

[janestarz]

On Slashdot, there was an article on how neuroscience tries to reach a consumers "buy-button". The things they come up with nowadays. I dread the day that advertisers use scent in their commercials. Imagine you're just leisurely watching a movie, there's commercials in between, and suddenly you're hungry and crave whatever ten foodstuffs they try to make you buy in those five minutes of crap.
I'm so blessed not to have a working tv in the house.

Official: Coke takes over parts of the brain that Pepsi can't reach

I love Pepsi. It doesn't make my brain twitch, and I like the taste.

Mom will be coming over today. Let's infest her with Monsters Inc.

I can tell the difference between coke and pepsi without trying...

Otherwise, I wouldn't go "this isn't coke, but it doesn't taste like pepsi either" (it was probably pepsi max).

Now, grape juice kills your teeth less =P
