This type of marketing isn't really all that new. Ever walk into a grocery store and the first thing you smell is fresh doughnuts? It's done purposely.

Being from Nevada, I know that casinos implement the same types of tactics. If you've ever been inside one, you notice that it's always dim and outside sunlight is blocked from entering the casino floor, so the gambler loses track of time. It's also been shown that certain types of smells and music will keep a person tranquil enough to keep maxin' out those credit cards.

As far as subliminal advertsing goes, casino owners have it down pat.
