But she is asking two different questions, isn't she? Whether we prefer name brand things and then whether we agree with the article (which had nothing to do with subliminal advertising).
I always thought the same thing as MysticCat. To me subliminal advertising is when you watch a movie/TV show or something and inbetween the scenes they show something really fast. You don't catch it with your eyes, but your subconscious (or whatever its called) catches it. Or when songs have hidden messages in them. That is what I thought subliminal advertising was.
Do I prefer namebrand products? Not really, but it helps. When I first was looking for a laptop, I was weary about buying my Acer. Why? Cause I had never heard of it before. It had more memory than the HP or Sony that I wanted (and was a lot cheaper) but I didn't want it b/c it was an Acer (although I did end up getting it).
