I thought that too. Decades ago, when I left home for university I had to do my own laundry. That means buying detergent.
I had always known as obvious that the commercials for that stuff were so bad that there was zero chance it would influence me.
At the supermarket checkout I noticed I had the brand name detergent my basket, not the much cheaper no-name brand. Because subconsciously, it DOES work to hear those brand names again and again, no matter how stupid the commercials look. I felt enlightened.
Don't speak for me please. We are not the same. I just buy the cheap detergent. I never end up with expensive shit in my basket just because of the brand.
