As common as fairy tales are in the world, some may use that to their advantage, for example in advertising. Most children grow up reading, watching, or hearing about fairy tales, making it very memorable to them. I remember a very clever television add for GPS devices in AT&T cellphones, where a Hansel and Gretel make their way through New York City, leaving breadcrumbs that are being eaten, lost, and unrecognizable. Once they get to their destination, much like in the fairy tale, the crumbs are also gone like in the story.

Many songs are written about love and loss and everything in-between, many popular songs with girls at a young age involve loves like in the fairy tales, some of these songs can be directly related to the plot of many classic fairy tales, for example in the song Today Was A Fairytale by Taylor Swift, this song states her being a damsel in distress, then after meeting her prince they both fall in love and live happily ever after like the classic fairytale stories.

Lastly, commonly seen are versions of fairytales, movies on tv, such as a popular movie series depicting Cinderella, each movie has a different cast with a different life, but all remains close to the classic Cinderella tale resulting in a happily ever after movie ending.
Listed are examples of the movies:
