That 1-800 Contacts ad with the dancing grandma cost me 20 minutes and I regret all of it

Last Tuesday I lost 20 minutes to a Facebook ad for 1-800 Contacts where a grandma in a pink tracksuit dances to a beat and it never once shows the actual product. I watched it like four times trying to figure out the point, and the comments were just a wall of fire emojis, which tells me people vote smash on confusion alone. The part that got me was the "find your fave" button at the end that just loops you back to another dance clip. I get that weird is the whole game on here, but this one is weird with zero payoff, like a riddle with no answer. My vote is pass, it's a 30 second time thief and nothing else. Has anyone actually clicked through one of these and made it to a checkout page, or is it all just a loop?
