A researcher is interested in whether subliminal messages hidden in Starbucks television advertisements will increase Starbucks product sales among 18- to 21-year-old college students.  The researcher recruits a random sample of Psychology students for this study.  Half the participants are shown a Starbucks commercial with a hidden message, and half the participants are shown the same commercial without a hidden message.  Then, for the next two weeks, each participant keeps track of how much money they spend at Starbucks (which might be $0), which is reported back to the researcher. What is the independent variable in this Starbucks subliminal message experiment?
