Subliminal marketing

Sometimes we all like to sit down and watch some good old fashion TV. We watch out favorite shows unaware of whats really going on in the background. Companies spend millions of dollars each year to market there products to try and get you to buy them. We have all seen commercials on TV trying to get you to buy something you know you don't need. While it may seem stupid for companies to waste money  advertising such dumb products there is a psychological reason for each and every one. Research has shown that the more someone views a certain product the more likely they are to buy it. Lets say you see a commercial on t.v for a product that you know you don't need you see the commercial on TV every day one day months later you see the product in the store and you pick it up on a impulse buy without even thinking about it. A famous example of this was a KFC commercial for a chicken sandwich when you first view the commercial it just seems like a chicken sandwich but it you look closer at the sandwich you will see that they secretly placed a dollar bill in the lettuce. Every time you see a dollar they hope that you will sub-consciously think about the chicken sandwich. Its scary when you think about it, who knows what kind of messages we are getting every day when we watch t.v or when we use the internet. While subliminal advertising is legal many people have questions weather it should be. It affects you in a sub conscious way many times without you even noticing it. Is this what t.v is going to turn into? a bunch of adds shown to you in a sub conscious way? only time can tell.
