When I was a child, I really wanted an Easy Bake Oven. Every time I saw a commercial for one, I was glued to the TV, marveling at the kids on the screen baking mini treats with their friends and parents. Seeing those ads, I knew they were made just for me.

Vans are my favorite brand of shoes. They’re comfy canvas shoes that come in an array of fun styles, types, and colors that appeal to a wide range of consumers.

Do you ever feel like your favorite companies just get you sometimes?
