I follow the Grim Reaper. Because I must.

I will never agree to a "free" trial if it wants my bank info from the start.

One advertiser on a 30-second TV spot said "absolutely FREE!" then said "send us money!" Criminal. NEVER buy from any TV ad.

If you hear the phrase "Taking the Market by Storm" Don't buy.

The 99c Trick was introduced originally introduced to stop theft by the sales staff. If the staff member has to open the till to get 1c as change, they can't just stuff the $10.00 in their pocket. The left side bias was invented by Conspiracy theorists.

We are also liked to buy people on the Internet all the time it’s crazy

The cigarette ads remind me of Conquest for the Planet of the Apes (1973) when the lady says that now that she knows they're not bad for her, she doesn't enjoy it as much. And sorry, Mike, you didn't grow up having to watch cigarette commercials or see the Yankee wall with the Marlboro man holding a cigarette. A friend of mine was offered to be the Marlboro man and turned it down. They told him he would earn thousands and didn't have to hold a cigarette. He still said no way.
And odd. I invested in Cadabra (1997) but it sounded too much like Cadaver and he said he was changing it to Amazon (less dead body sound).

I only use Uber if buses are not an option.

46:45 All natural🤔? Like arsenic, anthrax, staph aureus, and cyanide. All substances that occur in nature. Thank you, List 25, for all your hard work.❤

People we are supposed to trust are lying to us, which makes everybody else lie about things. People should just be more honest. Maybe if we were more honest about things it wouldn’t be as bad to hear some of the truth.

When my son was a kid, he did print ad and store catalogue modelling. He did a Kraft mag ad featuring lasagna where he watches eagerly, head on chin, as his fake mom’s arm lifts lasagna from a pan full of gooey cheese. The shoot took a couple of hours because of what the food stylist had to do to the food to make it look appetizing and to make the cheese look like it did. It was almost criminal lol I remember hairspray being used at one point.

I see an influencer, I automatically ignore whatever it is they're pushing. Oh, and I'm a "medium" person.

I remember back in 1970; there was a big sale at the local mall. So we went to look. My dad said they had marked UP a lot of the merchandise a couple of weeks before, just so they could then change the price so they could call the 'new' price, 50% off. I never believed 'sales' again, especially when I realized that the word 'Sale' didn't mean discounted. The word SALE just means that things were being sold, so, 'BIG SALE!' just meant that the merchant expected to sell a lot of stuff.

Ironically this video is being interrupted like every 5 facts by ads that are utilizing the tricks Mike is exposing. 😂

Love seeing the old format back ❤
