Commercials that talk to us

You know that commercial with the woman that says "You know that song 'Time in a Bottle?'" I always say "No, no I don't." But every time she continues to talk as if I do know that song "Time in a Bottle." I guess I can still piece together what she's trying to say: language comprehension does rely on context, and after all, you don't really need to know that song "Time in a Bottle" to know what she's talking about.

    I always hated "Rogaine, you know, that stuff with Minoxidil." I bet only 1 out of every 412 people actually knew what Rogaine was specifically because of the minoxidil reminder.
