i am bombarded by ads everywhere. If sports figure pitch it i don't know who they are because i have no interest in sports or celebrities. I buy only what i need and don't often change brands. Do not ever recall buying anything because of an ad. Usually word of mouth. I really hate the local news channel with the weather team , the news team and the sports team. Snippets of upcoming news is seen 3 times before they get to it a spend 5 seconds on an item.
