I think that, to this day, the only item I have ever bought because of an ad was my eargasm ear plugs. I may have seen them somewhere else first but an ad popped up and I happened to be in the market so I got them and don't regret it at all. Otherwise I buy things because I do the research, not because they push the ads out.
