The Fast Food Mafia


Johnny Rockets' advertisement pictures


 This advertising poster is mostly located at the chain restaurant, johnny rockets throughout the United States and expanding.The reason why I chose this picture is because first, it tells us how a bottle of coca cola used to cost only 5 cents!!!! We all know the currency value is different than from before, but still 5 cents is a pretty chocking price. And also the fact that they are using the “summer” theme to direct to the audience, which is always helpful because people relate summer with fun, relax, laying on the beach and just having a good time. I like the tactic they used because it is like saying; “thirsty? Drink coca-cola!!” But what about water??? People can still drink water when they’re thirsty or even natural and healthy juices for summer time, not just soft drinks, in this case coca cola. Thats a good reason of why people specially kids are drinking more and more coke everytime.   

Give or go!!!

This link will lead you to watch a funny commercial about fast food. Despite the fact that the video is funny because of their love and fight scenes it is very frustrating to actually compare this type of selfish behavior to regular people. It could be true that some people, specially young adults would behave somewhat like the couple, but I personally disagree with the fact that the commercial is taking it to the extreme making people actually believe that they’re food is so good that they would even fight with their loved ones for it. A strong message like this would definitely encourage more and more people to have a taste of the advertized food probably just to experiment if the effect is really that strong on people.
