Buying massive amounts of primetime commercial time to sell useless products by screaming their name over and over in the ad.

Man, those obnoxious TV advertisements can all fuck right on. It was even worse that it was a homeopathic (aka placebo effect) topical product.

They turned their advertising into a meme before memes were a thing. I'm sure someone has purchased the product based solely on the memeness, so successful ad?
