Perhaps you don't, but there are
many people out there that this works on. No matter what the level of advertisement at some point in your life it's going to have an effect on your purchasing decision. It may be that when you see a BMW M series you quietly think to yourself "Ultimate Driving Machine", it might be something less intuitive like not buying an iPod because you associate them with elitist snobs, an idea reaffirmed by their advertising but not outright in spoken word. I myself have gone out of my way to order parts from certain Ford dealerships because they advertise on & support the SCCOA. So while you may not be a corporate slave I'm fairly certain that at some point in time advertising/name recognition/logo's have effected your purchasing.
