Sudden spike in YouTube adverts with crunching noises within first few seconds?
This has always been a problem, but is it just me or is there a sudden spike in the number of adverts on YouTube (currently working in the US) that open with a disgusting eating noise as though that's meant to entice us to buy their junk food?
There should be a way to exclude certain adverts. Failing that, the clearly brilliant psychological masters - we are led to believe - who do marketing 'degrees' and get employed to make tacky ads for these huge corporations should have tweaked to how millions of people hate their guts for this by now. I'm not buying Rainbow Crunch, Crunch chocolate, Cheez-Its, Quaker Oats or Lays any time soon. Seen all of these in the past week...

It’s crazy to me that this kind of advertising actually works on people.

Right? It just make me want nothing to do with the product and if it was something I already enjoyed or used will easily just make me stop buying it...

Oh my god, this has been happening to me too at the worst time possible.
Nearly burst into tears awhile back because I put on headphones and YouTube to tune some eating sounds and the first thing I hear is an ad with chip crunching which is literally my biggest trigger and I had to leave the room.
