I am remarkably resistant to advertising although I do find many ads amusing. Being amused simply never translates to a purchase with me. I tend to buy things I already have a need for, (have been contemplating purchasing on my own) and relative price is my primary motivator. (I say relative because I do consider the social policies of the company I am dealing with, I dont compare Wal-Mart with a company that is selling environmentally friendly products or "all American made" products for instance.

The only advertising that makes me want things I might not normally buy are food ads. I try to avoid fast food, but when I see a thick juicy burger on the screen, my stomach responds. I dont go buy it, but I sure as heck want to, and often I go to the fridge looking for something to satisfy the craving for fat that the ad awakens in me.

Interesting.

No amount of advertising could make me buy a Slap-Chop.

I'll use my food processor or cut with a knife if necessary.

But I refuse to beat my vegetables to death on my counter top.

There is also that loud aggressive chopping sound.

The Slap-Chop seems like we are regressing back in time, not forward.

I have a total disdain for TV adds.

I haven't bought one, but I really like the idea of the slap chop.
