Wrong.  The initial statement was

"No amount of money thrown at something will make people want to buy it".

I provided counter-proof. I.e. that advertising could sell SOME things.  


 And since you mentioned Coke, do you remember "New

Fortunately, they didn't make it across the Pacific.  However Coke (I think it's called
classic over there), big macs, fries (excuse me while I barf at these :-)
and 90+% of there other product sells fantastically well thanks to their
advertising.

Maybe it's time to go back to the original thread.
