On the other hand, maybe the corporations spending billions on advertising and their army of statisticians and marketers measuring the response to the ads are right, and people do buy stuff because of ads.
Perhaps but the fact remains no one is doing what the poster I was replying to was claiming:
"It's fine if you like Tim Hortons, I understand that there's a market out there for junk food (cheap, high calorie, easily accessible garbage). But don't try to play off this fake patriotism, Canadian icon, "what you're too good for Tom Hortons Mr. Coffee snob?" bull#### around me when I refuse to drink their coffee."
