Subliminal advertising?

[Erdrick Holmes]

Ever noticed that anything was subliminally advertised?

I was watching Brainiac one time and they had three subliminal messages pop up during the show, then after the show they pointed them all out and asked if you did what they said. It worked a bit with me, during a part of the show the screen flashed for like a nano-second "You are thirsty" and I went to the kitchen for a drink during that part.

that's what the advertisers wanted you to think And I've never gotten a subliminal message that I know of....

Well, I don't know about noticing subliminal adverts, but I tell you what I have noticed; the cool, refreshing taste of Pepsi. With a taste that can't be beat, Pepsi is THE drink of a new generation.

No, that's what my introductory Psych textbooks and professors wanted me to think, so I'd pass the course.

Well there's no such thing is a bad wording, I should've said it doesn't work, which means it's a pretty bad advertising strategy. >_>

I know someone who put subliminal messages in a PowerPoint.

Your post is not an example of subliminal messaging. That's and advert.

Subliminal messages by definition mean things that are hidden to the conscious mind. Flashes of images that you don't even register when you're viewing something, audio that's barely loud enough to hear. Stuff like that. And it's pretty much proven that those don't work at all.

Placing a coke on the judges table at American Idol isn't subliminal messaging, it's product placement. And it can be debated how effective product placement can be.

It does, doesn't it? I think what they used to at the pictures, during the adverts, was flash an image of "You are thirsty", like he said. Then they'd flash a picture of Coke or something.
The message goes through to your brain, but you don't think about it consiously. So you start thinking thirsty. Thirsty for Coke. It would be easier to just fill it with Cocaine or something, but I think they stopped that.

I saw that episode, but I'm weird. For some reason, I can clearly see when they flash up the "hidden" messages. Same for those Derren Brown programmes. My family did not notice at all. Maybe my eyes' "shutter speed" is too fast?

Anyway, if you clearly see them, I don't think they can work.
