Very Clever

Look closely. What do you see? It's just normal apps on an iPhone, right? Well, you might want to look at the apps placement again...

   Hidden in everyday life is some sort of subliminal message, some more subtle than others. like some hidden picture of a person on a vending machine with Coke or Pepsi as the huge photo, for one. Just keep on walking to your destination. No  need to stare at the picture for so long. If you actually do, you might notice something, like with the picture above..

   So maybe all of us are dumb and can't even see it (the apps say "OB3Y", with the following app being Apple). We're probably already geared towards buying Apple products,  not Samsung or Google or the like. Perhaps they're working with some doohicky in our brains for our subconscious to follow. But this is one of the more faint examples (the person that took the shot might have rearranged the apps, but I can't be sure).

   Here's an ad for Popchips. At first glance you see Katy Perry, a singer that people admire. If she eats Popchips, I can too. After all, she's fit, right? And it even says love without the love handles. Less fat! Always welcome, unless you're underweight.

   If you look at the bottom, the ad even says that it's never fried, which means it's healthier. All this clever planning tells you that you should eat Popchips. Now, you might even reach for the Lays or Ruffles or Cheetos you have at the counter next to you because suddenly, you want potato chips again. 

   Of course, all businesses exist for one goal: money [or world domination by money]. So this isn't exactly ethical, because as with most potato chips, you want to eat more. After you finish that family-size bag all by yourself, you put it off. Thirty minutes later, you're back and hungry for more. Great. You're already hooked on the chips now, and in big quantities, not very many things are good for you. All the while, you're thinking about how you won't get fatter because they said so.

   Tell that to yourself again when you step on that scale again, mind you.
