I think Jim best explains it. It is not just pie. It is the domino effect (or as he puts it, "kudzu effect." Great analogy, by the way.)

It's the kudzu (the plant, not the person who posts here) nature of the advertising. First, the level-off video - 25 seconds of safety info and 3 min of adds. Then the BofA card. The PF Chang's napkins. The Cold Stone discount cards. The coach tray tables. The barf bags. The F/C tray tables. Now Four Points Pie. Did I forget anything?

How long before US is a flying, non-stop commercial that you can't escape or mute?
