Subliminal Advertising

There is a picture of a dollar bill hidden in the lettuce on a KFC commercial, the sandwich is 0.99, so it is not even truth in subliminal advertising

This is something that is still done quite a bit, and has been for some time

KT's thread reminded me of this

This is what I'm talking about:

The KFC Mashed Potato bowl:
It is a layer of creamy mashed potatoes, a layer of sweet corn, loaded with bite-sized crispy chicken. Topped off with more than a drizzle of gravy, and a heap of melted cheese...

Now I'm hungry..

I heard these messages actually resulted in people sending you BBQ from all across the country.

No such thing as subliminal advertising....we're simple creatures, relax and ignore your TV.
