Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a movie or listened to a song and heard something but didn't really register it in your mind? That's what subliminal messages are! They are little sneaky messages that are put into movies, songs or even advertisements that you don't notice at first because they are hidden.
The people who make these messages try to trick your brain into thinking certain things without you even realizing it. They might want you to buy something or to think about something in a certain way – like to think that a certain product is awesome.
But don’t worry, kiddo! Even though people use subliminal messages to try and influence us, they usually don’t work very well. Most people aren’t even aware they’re there, and even if they are, they might not be affected by them.
Plus, there are laws called “truth in advertising” laws that make it illegal to use subliminal messages in certain ways. So, we can listen to our favorite songs or watch our favorite shows without having to worry too much about hidden messages!
