Strong influence on the weak-minded?

A few days ago I was on my last disposable razor when the shaving cream ran out, so I went to Target, intending to buy the same combination of Gillette Foamy and Bic Comfort 3-blade razors that I’ve been using for over two years…

… but then I decided on Barbasol shaving cream and Gillette Custom Plus twin-blade disposals. I thought I had based my purchase solely on price, but today, while going through last week’s New Yorker, I spotted something in an article I’d already read. Hover over the picture to see what it was.

Coincidence, or the power of iconography?
