>here are some large cap (+$200B) U.S. companies that i have never used: jpmorgan chase, wells fargo, at&t, bank of america, pfizer, verizon.

But you probably have used those companies without knowing. You've probably traveled through an area with cell towers owned and operated by att and verizon. You've maybe received financing on a purchases or had financial services through a smaller bank in some way aided by chase/wells fargo/bofa. And you've never used any of pfizers commercial products? How about advil, chapstick, dimetapp, or robitussin?

is it fair to say that when you are in a public place, you are regularly a few feet away from someone engaged with snapchat?

i concede your point about pfizer, and i also recall that i had a bofa account in college, but i think the point still stands.
