Yeah, I never understood who those ads were aimed at. Buying a superbowl ad for a bunch of money to hit millions of consumers in hopes of a single CEO with buy authority watching the ad?

For one thing it keeps the media sweet.

For all those years in which the Archer Daniels Midland corporation ran ads on Sunday morning political talk shows, ADM got to scam the government and consumers for billions thanks to subsidies they were able to get.

My guess is they're for the thousands of people who could potentially invest in the company.
