I have done this. I remember doing this many years ago. I would get a pen and paper, and I would just jot down all of the commercials that I have seen while watching television that day. It was fun to do this. I always wondered how many commercials that they can show in a day. And how many times that these commercials are shown.. I enjoyed doing this. Have you ever done this before?

No,I've never done that but I sure do know they show an awful lot of commercials, I think I once counted 10 mins. of commercials one time when I was watching a show, I couldn't believe it.

Nope, never did that thing before but since you started talking about commercials, my siblings and I use to play a game when we were kids, that is we would guess what is the product the commercial is all about, we gain points when we guessed it correctly but when we lose the consequence is to wash the dishes

No, it is something that I have never even considered. As for the number of times a specific advert is shown in a day, it obviously depends on the company and how much they are prepared to pay overall.
I do find myself stopping to listen to a piece of music played on a new advert, which can be very frustrating because just as you are about to remember what the music is the next advert appears and throws you completely off the tune in your mind.

Hello, cream97.
I have never done this for pleasure. Nor for joy, nor anything like that. I don't think it would be good to write down the commercials
. Sounds boring to me. But I have already wrote details about commercials as a homework. Yes, I had to put the songs used in the commercial, the target of the commercial, what was saying in the commercial, written text and all this kind of things. It was a Marketing homework. I had to study all this and then we shared it in the class.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

hahaha I never did because I feel it is a waste of time doing it. When I am watching tv I am also doing something, like ironing, sewing, or knitting. And I don;t like also to do that. I am just amazed why you like doing this? Well, anyway, it's just like a game to some. Counting is fun!!!!

Hi creamy97,
I have never thought of that one, but when I'm watching something very interesting the commercial break would come and thats get me really annoyed, I don't really like commercials.

No, I haven't done that yet, but I find myself going on YouTube looking at videos of commercials from the 90s. lol. Those were some good times. However, I sometimes feel a bit of nostalgia when I watch those because, back then, TV wasn't so stupid as it is now...
