7 days agoWhere I am from it is not allowed to run ads with alcohol. What the companies do instead is create a non-alcoholic version of very similar branding and then run ads for that instead…
Sure they probably will. At least that is what they show on tv while flashing their logo. But it is a different story when you actually arrive at their location or order online. Companies use all kinds of dark patterns and strategies to get you to buy more or get the high margin items, that are usually their junkier stuff.
