Laarbruch72. Agreed. If I had children, I would be teaching them about advertising and how clever it is. It's age that helps me identify the risks. I have no doubt that some of my purchases are based on the drip-drip of advertising over the years.

But what irks me is that Heineken will sign exclusive deals with restaurants and bistros where the proprietor gets special prices if they agree only to sell the KP.
'Twas ever thus. You may recall (I see you are based in .ch) that British pubs became very bland in the 1970s as this problem spread. All the breweries locked down their own chains. Then folks rebelled but I'd guess that the problem is still widespread.

The manufacturers of both main 'Cola' products have usually done the same and actively prevent the shop/bar/restaurant selling their competitors product. Nothing like restraint of trade for the bottom line.

PAXboy,
The Heineken brewery in Chur produces their original Calanda brands AND their owner's Heineken brand.

But the locked in suppliers will only sell Heineken, but not Calanda!

It's the same frigging company !!!!

Also Benetton F1 were sponsored by Mild Seven, and one of Villeneuve Jr's teams (Williams?) was sponsored by Winfield. These images do stick, although I was probably a dream stooge as I was a smoker at the time. I even bought Winfield for a few months as they were on a ridiculously cheap introductory price.

Well if you get bored looking at all the advertising in T5 perhaps you might like to settle down in the departure area with your iPad and paint a picture.
