I used to think this, too. How stupid/naive does someone have to be to see a person smiling with Huggy Diapers and think those are the best ones?!

But then... Have you ever bought Omega-3 Pills?

If you were alive and watching TV and random ads in the last 10 years, you probably saw a bunch of ads for [Mega-Red Omega-3 Krill Oil] (https://www.amazon.com/MegaRed-Omega-3-Krill-Softgels-Schiff/dp/B00DFCLGEO).

At least, I did. And when I wanted to start taking Omega3 supplements a few years ago, I knew of NO BRAND AT ALL for it EXCEPT for that one. So I went on Amazon, since they've always got quality and I've got an Amazon Prime account and an Amazon Prime credit card. It's got 4.5 stars overall. Looks good. What could go wrong?

When I get them I realize they smell fishy as shit. Their ads were a lie. I googled this and found out that MegaRed is a total shitty scam. They make claims of "300mg Omega3s" - which is a decent amount (you want closer to like 1g per day so you'd already be taking 3-4 capsules a day...) - but if you look at the back of the label, they only include a total of 74mg of EPA/DHA, the Omega-3's your body can't make and basically the only ones you give a fuck about.

Doing more research on Omega-3's I found out why Fish Oil vs Krill Oil was a thing. Basically, some scientist dudes for some company showed that Krill Oil had a higher % absorption of EPA/DHA, but that it was only shown in very pure concentrations and certain conditions (fuzzy memory: some shit like... it could never have gone above X celsius or the proteins would denature or some shit). Originally, MegaRed got their Krill Oil directly from that company (that held the patent/knew the science), but later they started cutting corners to save money and buying Krill Oil from unknown sources. Since it's a supplement, there's no FDA shit or anything ensuring you're getting some Premium Grade A Shit, so you can get pretty-much-garbage and be none the wiser.

So yeah. They got some of my money just because I had never heard of another company and because they had 4.5 stars on Amazon (over ~450 reviews as of right now) by a bunch of other people who probably did the exact same.

So basically, the purpose of advertising (using my own life as an example) is that they get their brand into your head when you don't even know about the alternatives, so if the day ever comes you will turn to them first.

If you had to go get Auto Insurance tomorrow, who you gonna go with? You gonna research all competing brands, even those small-as-fuck ones you never heard of? Or maybe you'll just shop between Geicko and Progressive?

Let's pretend you're an r/iamverysmart and you're still not convinced: "--orb, I would go and research all 500 small auto-insurance companies and do my due diligence!" OK, but will your mom? Because I can tell you that my mom has State Farm, which is heavily advertised in the area I grew up in.

Tons of people -- average people -- or the 50% of people below average -- and most of the 50% of people above-average -- simply don't have the time or patience to do an exhaustive fucking search between all available options. If you need some window cleaner, you'll probably grab Windex just because you're familiar with it. If you need ziplock bags for some reason -- heh, fooled you! Ziplock is the name of a brand, not a technology!

Same with kleenex. Need some kleenexes? Or band-aids? Well those are brand names, and they got that far through advertising! You never look up sticky bandages or tissue paper by name. You might get weird other shit!

So yeah, generally the idea is that advertisements are there so that if the day ever comes where you go "Man, I want a fancy expensive bag to show that I came into money!" you immediately think of Louis Vuitton rather than thinking of spending an hour doing some research.

That issue wasn't significant in this discussion so I just simplified the matter. What I actually meant was one serving, which is two softgels. I also rounded up the number (again for simplification) to 1333. It's 1290 in fact.

I’ve tried dozens of different cbd products, including a 2,500 mg dosage oil which had noticeable affects but nothing drastic. Until I found an oil from Colorado, it’s 1,000 mg dose and this oil has literally TRANSFORMED my life. I’ve suffered from anxiety since I was a child, as an adult I’ve had advanced arthritis, chronic pain and all the enhanced anxiety and depression that comes along with it. This oil is not a magic bullet but it has outperformed all other treatments I’ve ever been prescribed BY FAR.

This is not some product sponsorship I’m trying to sell either. I will leave you the link for the oil, but I’m betting that oils sold out of Colorado or states that have long since legalized medicinal marijuana have better products so you might want to start looking for manufacturers in those states first. I’m in Wisconsin which has a medicinal cbd pilot program but the products available on the store shelves are not as effective as the one I’ve found from Colorado. This company sells oils in 3 different doses, 300mg, 500mg, and 1000mg. I’ve had huge success with 1000mg. Here’s he link:
