I love this term. I think I'll use it in the future if you don't mind.

I'm sure much of it is an age/culture thing. I am a 47 year old grandmother who knows how hard it is to earn a dollar. I suppose this whole method of exposure wouldn't work with teens since they have little or no money to spend anyway. But, like you mentioned, this means they wouldn't be customers anyway so it's a moot point.
