Advertising effects me more than I like to admit. Now you only look at ads for things you are interested in buying. If you have a 2 year old Buick that you are happy with and planning to drive for another 5 years then no matter how many Toyota commercials you see you're not likely to go out and buy a Toyota. If you're looking for a car though, and safety is your top priority, then an ad that says Camry is the top rated car for safety is going to pique your interest.
My main weakness is food commercials that come on when I'm hungry. I remember being on my way out the door on my way to Wendy's before the commercial was even over once when I realized that I was under the influence of advertising and made a point to go somewhere else instead hehe. Same thing happened to me watching a kit kat commercial once. I watched the commercial and immediately had a strong urge to go out and get a Kit Kat...and that's not even my favorite candy bar. I'm sure this kind of thing has happened to me many more times when I didn't notice it.
