      I’ve got good news for both you and people physically close to you!

      I’ve only seen them in Germany, but they’ve got at least all three Kanto starters, Pikachu and Mewtwo for shower gels and Charizard, Lapras and Jigglypuff for bath additives!

      We even have a Pikachu toothbrush and Pokemon themed tooth paste. All available at your average grocery stores around here.

    I like to imagine I’m not overly susceptible when it comes to marketing but maybe I’m just lucky most of the market doesn’t cater to my childlike whimsy.

      I’m less susceptible to marketing because I always have adblockers active (where at all possible)! Most people don’t even see the fact that they subject themselves to ads as issues, even after you show them how easy it is to set up adblockers in a webbrowser.

      But this kind of marketing, it can’t be easily blocked …

        My god especially on social media like Instagram and Tiktok this is absolutely horrendous. The amount of insta crap my mom sends me that’s literally just ads is making me question her sanity.

        I guess people are just used to it and tell themselves it doesn’t bother them?

        Meanwhile me when a friend shows me a video with an unskippable ad: fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off
