Ridiculous commercials

I hate those clementine orange commercials and use them as example of what not to do in a store. My kids saw the one where the kid was screaming at his dad but only stopped in front of those oranges. I let them know that was very baa behavior and if they EVER tried it, we would leave the store, and they were getting nothing fun. I may take the commercial too seriously but I am not going to be manipulated by a tantrum.
Mama don't play that way,
Heck, every commercial for those oranges irritates me and I refuse to buy that brand.
Most other commercials that play on "kid friendly" stations get under my skin. If it is geared toward a kid, I don't like it. The ONE time my parents let me choose a toy based on a commercial, it was a great disappointment, The toy actually sucked and was nowhere near as fun as the advertising. Since the tender age of 8, I have detested the lies of those advertisements.
As a mom, I avoid my kids seeing them to avoid the "Mommy I want ____!" moments. It works unless we are not home and the only option (if we let them watch tv) is to view a station where those commercials are unavoidable. It's rare but happens.
I'm blessed to have the luxury of subscribing to a satellite service package where we get Disney Jr and BabyFirst TV. Thankfully there are VERY few adverts on Disney Jr and none that I've ever noticed on BabyFirst. When we finally dump subscription tv service, then adverts are no longer an issue, so yay! I'm looking forward to that.

Aside from annoying kid-centric commercials, I cannot tolerate 99% of those on every other station. Hillshire Farms "go meat" jingle is one I like even though I don't buy their products.

I have an inverse reaction to advertising. Even if the ad is meant to be annoying so it's remembered, I specifically avoid mentioning a product by it's name and simply purchase the competitor's product.

Thanks to some creepy or annoying Superbowl ads, there are at least three brands I will avoid until I can look at an item without mentally crying from the sheer torment by poor brain suffered through.


I can not be the only one who reacts this strongly to commercials, right?
