Answer 1

For me, they only work for things I already like. I love me some Doritos but don’t eat them often as I typically avoid processed foods. If I see a Doritos ad, I’ll probably buy some in the next 2-3 days. I’ve never bought anything new because of an ad. If the product is new to me, it just doesn’t stick in my brain and I’ll never remember the ad by the time I go shopping.
