* The point of an Emerald Nuts ad campaign a few years back. There's a bizarre scene, for example, two guys circling each other in shopping carts proclaiming "My name is Norman and I am great!" "No, I'm a better Norman than you!" The tagline: "'''E'''gomanical '''N'''ormans love '''E'''merald '''N'''uts!" There were quite a few variants (Elegant Naysayers, Evil Navigators, Extinguished Novelists, etc), and the campaign built up to a [[Super Bowl Special]] in which '''E'''agle-eyed '''M'''achete '''E'''nthusiasts '''R'''ecognize '''A''' '''L'''ittle '''D'''ruid '''N'''etworking '''U'''nder '''T'''he '''S'''tairs.

** There was an Amstel (beer brand) campaign some years ago whose ads consisted of really funny songs, like "'''A'''migo '''M'''ío, '''S'''ólo '''T'''ú '''E'''ncuentras '''L'''eña" (My Friend, Only You Find Firewood) or "'''A'''migo '''M'''ío, '''S'''i '''T'''e '''E'''charas '''L'''aca" (My Friend, If only You Wore Hairspray). Of course, the point of the ad was how great Amstel was for sharing with your friends.

* A commercial for Staples features a law firm that decides to abbreviate their name in order to save ink when printing their name. Unfortunately, their firm's name is '''D'''udley-'''I'''rwen-'''N'''ewberg-'''G'''onzales-'''B'''rown-'''A'''nderson-'''T'''aylor & '''S'''tein.

'''Guide:''' ...It means a higher propensity to purchase. }}
