Yes, it is propaganda, and to build on the comment you're replying to, one of the tactics they use instead of explaining their product is simply repetitiveness.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. -Joseph Goebbels

Simply repeat your ad often enough in front of enough people, and an amount of those people will stop questioning the ad and take it as gospel.
