    Well sorry to tell but you’re a little naive.

    Nobody expect you to directly buy a product because of an ad. Ever noticed how most ad don’t even mention or show the product they’re selling?

    The idea is to create associations in your brain. Something perceive as positive + brand name is always a plus value for the brand. A "lil chuckle” is exactly what they aim for.

    A post like this going viral is probably more valuable for a fast food chain than a multimillion dollar ad campaign.

    Funny cause I had almost the same discussion last week, in an almost similar post. And will probably have it next week when a young woman who just broke up with her boyfriend will write a wholesome review about getting offered free fried chicken by the manager of fast food restaurant when they realized they both have a goldfish name Billy. https://sh.itjust.works/post/53828922

      Tbh, I prefer these influencer ads over the junk on streaming services. Still manipulative, but at least they made me grin about it.
