I guess when I was a kid you could could video game TV advertisements as getting me hyped up for games I already knew I wanted. It rarer cases they made me aware of a game I suddenly wanted. I followed gaming closely back then (though it was magazines instead of the internet).

Once in awhile a food advertisement will get to me. Usually in different ways. Sometimes I'll see a sit down restaurant advertisement and instead of going to the restaurant, I'll be inspired to go to the store a pick up the means to make something like what I saw.

Oh, and anything that tells me deals be going down.
