WHAT ARE why YOU TALKING yes i ABOUT? PEOPLE do ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT think COMMERCIALS HAVE there are HIDDEN FRAMES IN THEM? OR MOVIE TRAILERS SAY secret EAT MORE messages POPCORN? COME ON, THAT'S SILLY!

There's a lot of subliminal advertising out there.
Hmm.
I think it could work.
Some of it may just be rubbish.

I think you'd have to be careful what you pick.
Subliminal advertising does work though.

So yeah.
Umm..
Buy buy buy!
Listen to those tapes and change yourself!
I should make some, sounds like an easy job.
Meh.
Interesting though.
Noisy too.
Alright.
Laters.

Of course I believe in it. Several studies prve that the subliminal messages have really an influence on the custommers choice.

I know there are some stores who put the, Do Not Steal , in the music in their stores its a well known fact that they do, they say it cuts down on shoplifting. I've never even thought of shoplifting but I can always tell which stores have that in their music because all my brain picks up is the word, STEAL, and I find this very annoying. Because then I get all nervous about being a suspected shoplifter, it drives me nuts and makes me really angry.

Yup, The name for this system is Musak...

In Time magazine, Sept. 10, 1979, an article ran concerning "Secret Voices." The article mentioned that about 50 department stores in the U.S. and Canada have installed a device that commingles the music of Musak system broadcasts with subliminal anti-theft messages ("I am honest. I will not steal. If I do steal, I will be caught and sent to jail."). The words changed slightly every now and then, but the basic message remained the same, and repeated itself 9,000 times every hour. Professor Hal C. Becker invented the little "black box" to deliver the technique through speeded up, barely audible messages (2 1/2 times normal speed) in conjunction with the pleasant background music of the department store (see U. S. patent no. 3,278,676 by Hal C. Becker). (Using a Variable Speech Controller (VSC), recorded speech can be speeded up without increasing the pitch and sounding like Donald Duck.) Results indicated that theft and internal, inventory shrinkage were actually reduced by up to 37% in stores using subliminal messages. Using Becker's "honesty reinforcement and theft deterrent system," one department store company saved more than half a million dollars in only 10 months through cutting shoplifting and employee pilferage. Such success prompted other store chains to order their own secret installations of the system as well.
