Not so subliminal messages
The people that work in advertising really know what there are doing.
At least when it comes to selling a product to a two-year-old.
Eli obviously recognizes the golden arches as the place for french fries, but he also know that tacos come from Taco Bell, CDs (DVDs) come from Blockbuster, and that Applebee's = lunch (by the way, we have never been to Applebee's for lunch). The other day he saw the keys to Chris' Ford Explorer, which have the Ford logo stamped on them. Eli immediately got excited and said, "American Idol". "American Idol" is sponsored (heavily) by Ford. Of course, the Ford logo looks very similar to the "American Idol" logo, which I realized when Eli started talking about the show again when we passed by Culver's.
