Week 4

How true is advertising?
I personally cant really stand Taco Bell anymore. It always makes me feel sick when i eat it, and i was always under the impression that the meat at Taco Bell isn't really meat so i am not really surprised that they got sued. Advertising was involved in this debate because the reason Taco Bell got sued is because of false advertising. They claim in their commercials that their meat is real so that's what started this all. At least they can sorta back up they're food on their website. This claim that they have real meat still doesn't make me want to eat there. I used to love Taco Bell but i cant trust their food anymore.

Advertainment
1.) Facebook's "like" button- Everytime you "like" something you get ads relating to that like everytime you log on.
2.) Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle- This whole movie was based around White Castle, all the while promoting their deliscious burgers
3.) Music Videos- Singers in their music and their music videos will have certain products in their songs that they can visual advertise in their music videos.

  1. Right there with ya Al. I was never a fan of Taco Bell, it really isn't that great. I don't know if you heard this, but they have a meat hose. One time friends of mine were waiting in line and they were told they had to wait 15 minutes because there meat hose was clogged. I am not a big fan. But you are right about advertising, it is what caused all this ruckus!
