Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I went to Cuba and i leaned that not all advertisements are capitalist.

I'd still rather not have them. Interesting point though.

I remember growing up in the 80s and we'd have adverts for milk and eggs. Not any brand or company. Just a general message to drink milk and eat eggs. Think it was like a farmers union thing.

Most people here will only know who Accrington Stanley are because of those ads.

Yeah, from the beef council. Also, "The more you know..." Those were kind of like advertisements. I tried to post pics of some Cuban billboards but this app wouldn't do it. I'll try again. They basically blame everything on the US embargo.
