I cannot recall the last time I was swayed by an advertisement.

When Jack and his gf on 30 rock were shown eating a McFlurry on 30 rock, I definitely ate more McFlurries that year. They worked it into a couple jokes and at the time (highschool) I didn't realize it was a paid advertisement. I didn't want it necessarily because they ate it, more like they reminded me it exists, and who doesn't like soft serve? Anyway, when I watch the episode now it's painfully obvious McDonald's paid for several mentions and on screen use.

Damn. It's working on me again right now. I just asked my husband if we can get McFlurrys today.
