A Coke and a smile....
Coca-Cola
So, here's a question for you: Does a company like Coca-Cola really need to advertise? Do you think there would be a substantial drop in sales if they cut their advertizing budget in half? How many Cokes do they have to sell just to pay for the advertizing? Obviously, Coca-Cola isn't hurting financially. I just wonder why a product like that, as strong and engrained as Coke, has to spend the kind of money they do to tell us about the product.
Another thing about beverage ads...have you ever changed your choice of beverage based on a 'taste test'? No? The fact that some old woman from Knoxville, TN prefers Coke to Pepsi isn't going to make you prefer Coke to Pepsi? No? Then, why, oh why, do they all keep telling us that this cola or that beer won a 'taste test'?
Ford
I love the Ford Fusion commercial. Don't get me wrong; I don't know what Ford Fusion looks like and would never own one. But, in the commercial, (which I don't think I've ever actually 'watched') the guy tells us how much 'Car and Driver Magazine' loves the Ford Fusion. That the Fusion 'is' the 'best' something or another in America. I wonder if anyone at Ford or 'Car and Driver' has picked up a Wall Street Journal lately to notice the billions of dollars Ford lost last quarter.
Chevy Trux
I gotta tell you, I LOVE THE CHEVY SILVERADO CAMPAIGN!!! Hell yeah, this is Our Country!! Are you kiddin' me?!? (The fact that I love these commercials has little to nothing to do with the fact that some of the money spent on the commercials, via the trickle-down effect, is paying for the internet connection I'm using to post this. Little to nothing...)
Wendy's
Alright...here's the thing: I love the miniature hamburger, fries and beverage the guy in the '$2.99 value meal' campaign is eating. Funny. BUT...I hate the guy!! I hate his teeth. I hate his sunken eyes. (I see him in a tax prep company's ad now, too) I hate that two guys are sitting in a library EATING fast food...next to each other...from different restaurants. What are the chances? I also think it would have been better if the second guy had said something like "Same here" instead of "$2.99" Is that picking nits?
Alright...enough of this
