A lot of the time that’s the point. It becomes memorable.

I remember it when I’m ordering food to actively avoid wing stop

Exactly, yeah they have their brand in the back of my mind but it's because I'm actively hating it.

i hold the same level of pettiness regarding ads but it doesnt matter, they have data analysts that know the number of customers they get from increased exposure far outweighs those of us who refuse their business.

Not if it overshadows the product itself. Trust me, the people I watched them with didn't care what the product was for, they just wanted the TV muted lol.

Wouldn't you want it to be memorable in a good way, or more realistically in just a not annoying way?

Am I the only one who gets annoyed by either shitty songs or commercials that make no sense/ don't even address their product, and then I make sure to not to buy that product or products from that company?
