In short, manufacturers of these tapes claim to be able to tap into your subconscious mind with messages hidden within the music on the tapes. Much of the belief in subliminal messages in tapes, on movies and the alleged Satanic messages in music goes back to the myth of the Drink CokeEat Popcorn study. Truly, this has become a mod- ern day myth in that nobody seems able to document the story or show you any kind of proof, but people still say Didnt you hear about the study where they flashed the message eat more popcorn and drink more Coke on the movie screen and sales increase 200 percent? It turns out. the study never worked. Further attempts to make it work have failed, and the original study was mainly done as a publicity stunt. The w'orld really is not full of hidden messages, it is full of very overt messages that we tend to gloss over such as drink Brand X cola and have as much fun as the people in these ads or buy brand X tires or put the lives of your family at risk. Power, success, popularity and sex appeal, versus the risk of social ridicule are all right there in front of us. There really is no need to have hidden messages as well, even if they did work. Promoters of these self help tapes play on peoples common misconceptions about how our minds work.

There are in fact some studies that conclude there are no messages detectable to humans or electronic machinery on these tapes. These hidden messages will change behavior. Even if the messages that promoters claim are there exist, they are so vague as to be almost useless. It would be cheaper and more effective to place little hand written signs around the house to remind yourself I dont need to eat potato chips or I have the willpower to stop smoking.
