Always intrigued how often  we are marketed to without realizing.

Something like at a supermarket the milk is setup all the way at the back end of the store so you have to walk through 45,788 products before you check out..or how the kids cereal is always at the bottom shelves within reach of children who can grab em and annoy their parents to but fruit loops.

Casinos and bad carpeting design choices to keep you from looking down at the floor but instead looking up at all the gambling choices. 

FFA search function is designed to confuse people who eventually feel the need to buy a subscription.

What else do you know of?

 
Wegman's is the master of this for grocery stores. They make you run a maze of "high end" cheeses and chocolate to get to the hot dogs and Chef Boyardee. Tough sledding, folks.

I ran a liquor store back in the 1980s and the theory then was to go lowest price-on-the-right to highest-on-the-left since most people were right handed and would start on the right side of the aisle/box.

Tom Hopkins guy from way back. Tie down closes.

New fave is three whys down. Take every answer and ask why is that important to you and you get to the root of why people want to buy pretty quickly. 

 
Stores use smells, lighting, and color patterns that have proven to get people to spend more.  For example, grocery stores put flowers at the entry way whose smell make you more likely to buy something impulsively.  

An obvious one is that stores put candy and toys at eye level for kids to hound their parents to buy while in the checkout line.  

 
Pretty much everything you see and do is directed by the marketing illuminati. Behold our works and despair!

 
When you see an ad for a product, whether the ad is good or ####ty, it makes you more likely the buy the product.

 
You can put Little Debbie snack cakes in a pink box, and they taste like they came from Au Pain Hautain.

Well, maybe not. but better.
