But you remember it, don't you?

It's early yet.

But if one bathes and changes clothes regularly and has no problems with leaky sphincters I see no issue with going without underwear.

That depends BSG; if recognition is the only goal (and some advertisers will argue that it is) ), hhat it is), then you are correct. But if some find the ad annoying, they may well boycott the product. I know I did that years ago with Wendy's (when they had the "Where's the beef" campaign I know several friends of my parents who refused to buy a life alert (even though they could have used one) because of the "I've fallen and I can't get up" campaign). If the goal is to increase sales, annoying commercials may well do the opposite.
