  5. Health warnings can paradoxically increase cravings for products like cigarettes due to their psychological impact.
  6. Brand loyalty is cultivated through rituals that connect consumers to products and foster a sense of community.
  7. Sexual content in advertising often distracts rather than sells, though it can generate controversial publicity.
  8. Consumer choices are not always rational; understanding brain processes can help make more informed purchases.
