They're used to market everything...shoes, drinks, foods, equipment, credit cards, cars, hotels, cruises, etc. Have you never watched? They were first aired on tv in the 60's, and they've been used to sell a lot of things since then. I don't think they do a very good job ov it (TV networks generally los emoney airing the Olympics) but they do it nonetheless.
