Yabbut yerself!
We're a mite gray around the muzzle. I've got 46 yars of oil patch and more than a few biker parties and county fairs under my belt, and I reckon you've got similar creds. We aren't so easily influenced.
Youngsters, however get this garbage from an early age...and critical thinking isn't exactly encouraged nowadays.
Besides, I can usually tell what the 'next big (leftist) thing' is gonna be by the wierdos that get squeezed into TV shows and commercials...
Didja notice how after the Left claimed Officer Brian Sicknik was beat over the head with a fire extinguisher virtually every fight scene has a fire extinguisher handy for someone to get clobbered with? I have seen characters step over a gun laying on the floor to grab that thing. 
It's how the Left keeps their narratives alive, but for those of us who are paying attention, it's another layer of propaganda.
(C'mon, Hollywierd! Hit 'em? Just spray it in their face! That powder will mess with their eyes, their breathing, and shut them down. Then if that doesn't work, you can still beat them over the head with the empty.)
That's all right, and alright. But more to the point, I think it is a matter of enculturation across a lifetime, not just now that we're gray in the muzzle and long in the tooth.
It's like butter. TPB says butter is bad for you and everybody should try margarine. And the herd runs that way... Not my folks. I mean, it was kinda nice to try because it spread a whole lot better in the winter time, But nah. Not really. Butter is still in my cupboard to this day, and until recently, it was butter we made.
I live in a different culture matrix, and I'd reckon you do too. I can't remember anything at any time that we bought into because of commercials. Nothing. OK, MAYBE something like Twister, or that weirdo beanbag tic-tac-toe game (Which is just a way better game of cornhole).. Alright - maybe something like that. Maybe you are sitting there watching NASCAR and ZaHut or Little Squeezers gives you a commercial, and you think, yeah, I need that, and pick up the phone- Alright -Maybe some instant gratification stuff like that.
But not really. I can't think of anything.
Not that there ain't enculturation... I say that sitting here in my mossy oak ballcap, having gone through Levi 501 buttonholes to Wranglers, to Carhartts just like you prolly did. My pockets and belts all have a Schrade product on em, and probably a Leatherman multitool or the like ( prolly as do you)...
I will have a preference in sh*tkickers and hiking boots, and if you and I were to talk about that, some brands would very likely come up.
If we start talking arctic-wear, again, a handful of brands would surface.
Fishin poles. camp gear... All that is going to have some preferences, and I can probably guess what you are gonna be using, in very few tries.
We can argue endlessly about Deere, or Massey, or Kubota, or TYM...
But all that ain't ever seen a TV commercial.
I ain't saying I ain't got any enculturation. I am saying I am differently encultured, and my enculturation tends to leave me immune to what comes over the TV. I buy things because they work,or because my elders raised me up with it... or because a friend or mentor recommends.
All them ads really don't mean sh*t to me.
