    I discovered that a couple slight audio adjustments then reversing the Meow Mix jingle makes it sound like the person is singing "buy me, buy me, buy me..." One "buy me" (meow meow) is totally clear and seems to be there to guide the listener to absorb the entire sublimanal message. Besides that I think it's a pretty boring program but some people will like it.
