Taco Bell Ad

     I was watching baseball and there was an ad for Taco Bell. At the time I saw it I was very hungry so it was very appealing to me. The ad was about a 5$ box that included a burrito, two tacos, and a drink. This seems like a pretty good deal because 5$ does not seem like much. You could buy everything seperate and it would be around 7$. The ad zoomed in on the food to appeal to our physiological needs. Taco Bell always find ways to make a deal look appealing and better than it actually is. They kept mentioning how it was 5$ and the entire time on the screen it was in bold letters. This ad didn't appeal to me emotionally or logically. The only way it appealed to me was because it was a good deal and I always want food.
     Most food ads seem to be like this. They'll talk about how the food is so great and how there is such a great deal going on. But I've noticed that these deals stay, they aren't even going to go anywhere. The company just says that it's a deal to appeal to us viewers to make us think that we need to get whatever the product is right now, when in reality, we could get the same things for the same price anywhere.

  1. Yeah, I know what you are talking about. I think they especially include those ads when sports are on to appeal to a certain audience. I also agree with you on that these deals are always there. I probably eat fast food around once every three months and I cant remember the last time there wasn't a "deal" at a fast food place. Also, I notice with some places they overprice it then sell it for a normal price and call it a "deal".
