I used to believe that when a commercial came on for a sweepstakes, when it said at the end, "Many will enter, few will win," I misheard it and thought that it was actually saying, "Many will enter, YOU will win." I'm still waiting to win something like they promised I would.

When I was like 8 or 9 I would watch TV and see those commercials for acne care. My brother was about 14 and he had pimples and I remember hoping that by the time I hit puberty and got pimples that they would still make that kind of stuff (I thought it was just a fad that would go away!)

When I was a kid, I believed advertisements. In the 70's happy faced scrubbers came out and cleaned your bathtub for you in the commercial. So when my mother sent me upstairs to clean our tub, I was so excited. I sprayed the tub with the product and waited... Nothing. Soon Mom came up and asked what I was doing staring at the tub and to get busy. It was a good lesson, but heartbreaking. You should add a section about advertisements.

I used to see Kroger commercials on TV as a kid, and I thought for sure it was continuosly being filmed live at the Kroger my mom and I shopped at. So whenever I would go to the store with her, I was always on the lookout for the cameras, hoping to be in the next TV commercial.
