I swear off so many products and services for no other reason than their obnoxious, repetitive commercials.

Off top of my head, I will never buy Old Spice anything because their ads are so repetitive and obnoxious. I feel disgust when I see it in the store and actively avoid it for no other reason than their spam campaigns.

Same for USAA, Native body wash, AmEx, Liberty insurance (that forced catchy theme), and more.

Anyone else feel the same way? Or have you caught yourself getting suckered in because of ads’ subconscious shenanigans?

    I guess I should elaborate. I look at more than just what’s on the site. I’ll actually go around and look for 3rd party reviews and such. It’s not fool proof but I’ve had a much better buying experience since I’ve started doing that.
