no ad needed

So for some damn reason I woke up this morning thinking about things we use everday that you never see commerials about. It made me wonder what other things large compaines make so much money off of they dont have to advertise. Post your thoughts here:

Mine was duct tape, almost every house has one or two rolls of duct tape, its used for so many things including in murder case, to fixing broken toys

I myself dislike duct tape and tend to use gaff tape or fix whastever it is not just temporary it with tape.

But think about how many rolls you have at your home, workplace, car, boat, rv, and all that And you can buy it anywhere from a home imporovement center to walgreens to the quick corner store and in many colors.

let me hear your thoughts on other things you dont see ads on

Gaffer tape all the way here too Mike.

Don't think I've ever seen an advert for post-it notes yet everyone has at least one pad of them. Some of us have multiples ones in all different sizes and colours.

LOL feeling convicted here since I don't have a single roll of duct tape. Nice thread idea...hmmm as for what I have in my home that doesn't get advertised I can't think of too much other than vegetables and perhaps my wine cooler.

Many good things can be said about duct tape, and you're right it doesn't get advertised. And I'm guessing it doesn't need to.

Antenna and most smaller parts I pick up at Radio Shack don't
Car parts - rims, transmissions, hoods and rotaries usually don't
Guns and cigarettes can't (and don't need to
Books rarely get advertised on TV, and when they do, I don't like/trust it.

Paper clips
staples
hole punches

Unless one thinks the Staples icon is a commercial all in itself.

Inked_Trinity · 12-30-2011, 02:23 PM

Toilet seats..... we all have at least one!

scootebaby · 12-30-2011, 02:25 PM

fridge magnets

coasters

Truly Scrumptious · 12-30-2011, 02:26 PM

WD-40 . . . I never see ads for it.

But everyone has it, right? Because after all, WD-40 and duct tape are the only tools you need. (If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use the duct tape.)
