    I cannot tell you anything about any ads I have seen in the last few years online. If they pop up and I can’t shut them off, the single thing I am paying attention to is when the skip now button shows up. I literally cannot tell you anything about any of the ads, neither company nor product. Back in the day, you’d run to the other room and do things while the ads came on in TV shows but you were still hooked in because of the jingles. To this day I can remember many of the jingles from the 70s. New online ads, absolutely no idea.
    However in the car I listen to radio and have recently started listening to a new station. I am starting to recognize some of the higher rotation ads. The ones I like, I might eventually try the business if it offers a product I need, but the much longer list is the one of companies that I will never do business with since their ads annoy me so much. Name recognition isn’t great if all it promotes is loathing.
