Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly · Seeing Is Believing: The Power of Demonstration Commercials - Part Two · 11 Jul 2026 podcast

The commercial begins with a mini parked in an isolated spot at night.

Inside the car, a girl and a guy pop up, a little out of breath, hair tousled, doing up their shirts, when the girl says, Wow, there is a lot of room in here.

Then suddenly, a second girl pops up in the back seat.

Threesome, anyone?

It was a 21st century version of the VW Wilt Chamberlain demonstration, with a bigger layup.

Back in the day, air freshener commercials would show a room full of cigarette smoke filled with unhappy people.

Then, with the spray of a room freshener, everybody would be happy again.

These days, air freshener commercials take it a bit further.

Febreze launched a campaign to prove that eliminating bad odors and replacing them with freshness could make people happier.

So it launched the Febreze Breathe Happy Social Experiment, based on one universal insight.

You can close your eyes, but you can never turn off your nose.

According to Febreze, we breathe in 23,000 times a day, and the odors are often far from pleasant.

So Febreze pulled in people from off the street, blindfolded them, and exposed them to some very smelly items and locations.

But here's the kicker.

Those terrible odors were treated with Febreze.

Then, the people were asked to describe what they smelled.

In one instance, a blindfolded woman smelled a very well-worn boot, and when asked to describe it, she said... They described what they smelled.

And witnessed firsthand that Febreze really can make you happier.

In another experiment, a blindfolded man is asked to smell a disgusting pile of filthy dishes in the back of a restaurant.

The commercials directed people to Facebook where they could see even more experiments.
