That’s Sprite! There’s nothing like that feeling of being uninspired. I’m sure we all have been there before, whether it’s in the studio or the classroom. In the Sprite commercial featuring well-known rapper Drake, the Sprite Company connects with Drake fans by using an emotional connection implying that: if you drink Sprite like Drake, you will be like Drake. This ad has many fallacies a few being: bandwagon, faulty analogy, and testimonial. The Sprite ad is “stacking the deck” in their favor allowing Drake fans to be blinded by the misconceptions of drinking Sprite. Overall, when using a famous, successful celebrity, such as Drake, to promote Sprite; it is only a matter of time before his fans “hop on the bandwagon,” and start to drink Sprite as well. Any loyal fans of Drake must think that any soda that Drake purchases must be a soda worth buying. It is easy to get caught up in the notion that your idols are positive role models, but that’s not always the case. Especially when it comes to drinking soda, according to the Harvard School of Public Health, “People who consume sugary drinks regularly - 1 to 2 cans a day or more - have a 26% greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes than people who rarely have such drinks.” Soda is linked to a numerous amount of health problems, like type 2 …show more content…

In the ad, Drake is unable to spit out the words he wants to say by stating, “I’m just not feeling it” until he takes a drink of Sprite. As soon as that inspiring mouthwatering Sprite reaches his lips, his whole body opens up filling it with Sprite, and allowing him to come alive again. Drake is now able to finish his song stronger than ever. Some of the Drake fans are going to think that since Drake is really good at rapping and he also drinks Sprite, in order to be a really good rapper like Drake, you also have to drink

    For example, the idea of the commercial itself is a sort of appeal to false authority. The whole ad is based on how if you drink Dr. Pepper 10, you’ll be manly like Grizzly Adams. Another noticeable fault was used in the closing of the commercial where Grizzly says, “Mmm, bold flavor.” Bold flavor is an ambiguous statement and very subjective. What is clear is that the Dr. Pepper 10 advertisers are trying word play to suck buyers in. Several commercials have used the phrase, “Bold flavor,” in advertisements before. This just further weakens Dr. Pepper’s

    The celebrity make-up of this commercial, consisting of stars such as Michael Jordan, the Manning brothers, and Serena Williams, is the main convincing point of this ad and that factor of credibility alone could convince a consumer to buy the product. However, that is not Gatorade’s main message. Normally, a company tries to project these endorsers as larger-than-life figures and ordinary people cannot help but feel inferior to them. This ad does the exact opposite in the sense that it humanizes these athletes and only talks about the failures in their careers. The ad begins with

    In 2011, Coca-Cola launched an ad campaign to spike men’s interest in the low-calorie soda known as Dr. Pepper 10. In this advertisement, the Coca-Cola Company made suggestions as to what it means to be masculine and how Dr. Pepper 10 can help men live out that lifestyle. In this commercial, a man can be seen performing exaggerated feats of masculinity, such as effortlessly carrying a tree trunk and crushing an ice-encrusted arm against a rock. The third scene of importance is almost an afterthought, but it’s subliminal message can’t be missed. It can be reasonably inferred that Coca-Cola has targeted the male mentality that low-calorie drinks are for women and are not masculine enough for them. So, Coca-Cola created this ad campaign just

    Have you ever thought how much soda you consume and how bad it can be for you? Many people will drink soda instead of water, simply because it tastes better. The government should limit the intake of sugary beverages because it can lead to many different problems such as heart disease, obesity, and overall it is an unhealthy life-style. “The average person consumes almost 100lbs of sugar a year, with the single biggest source being soda.” A sugary beverage occasionally would be ok, but drinking it every day would cause problems for you overtime. People drink, more soda than they do water. People should be consuming at least eight 8-ounce glasses a day. Mostly no one will drink that amount of water a day.
