The FCC held hearing in 1974 on subliminal advertising. A policy statement was issued to the effect that such advertising was "contrary to the public interest" and "intended to be deceptive".
Thus you will not see it on TV in the US. It has also been banned in Canada.
The FCC pronouncement is influential but not determinative for advertising in cinemas as was the case here (also it took place in Germany).
