Not a commercial but definitely a dumb move the ID protection company LifeLock put the CEO's actual SSN on the side of a truck to show how good there service was.

Packaging design and colors have a brain priming effect. People won't just say the same soda in two different bottles tastes different. The same signals from taste buds get processed into different things by the brain. For all intents and purposes they are different.

I work in a grocery bakery and we have "scratch" made French bread and used to sell Italian bread as well. Literally the only difference between the two was how we cut the top and what we packaged it in. Yet every time we ran out of Italian people would insist it tasted different from the French and get angry when I would offer it. It wasn't a cost issue either cause the price was the same they just would just swear it was different and swear at us for ruining their dinner.
