Back in the Day

"Can your fruit snack do this?!" I was searching around looking for commercials that caught my attention, and I decided that I wanted to think back in the day of the commercials that stood out to me the most. Looking back on my younger years this is the one commercial that I still think about. As a kid I used to HATE when commercials would interrupt the show I was watching, expect for this particular one. The idea of turning a person into a cactus or a fruit head was extremely appealing to me. This commercial is fun and really grabs the eye of the T.V watcher, The fun music and crazy characters still brings a smile to my face as I look back to the 90s.
      I am not a huge fan of Gushers these days, but back when I was younger and found Gushers in my lunch I thought it was the best day of my life. This commercial was the reason I forced my mom to buy them because their commercial is awesome, and and so are the bright colored candies. You don't see these commercials anymore, but I sure wish I did!

Christmas Craze


The first thing I think about when Christmas time rolls around is obviously the Christmas music, but more importantly the fun Christmas commercials.  For weeks people around the world are in a craze shopping for their loved ones, and turn into stressed out, anxious, intense shoppers just like the woman seen in this ad.
This has got to be one of the best Christmas commercials out there, and it is not a surprise that Target is responsible. Not only so all  their ads grab the eye of the customer, they also make them laugh. When Christmas time rolls around I look for these commercials, because they remind me instantly of my mom, and the billions of other shoppers I see around the mall during the weeks before Christmas. I think this ad does a great job in showing how crazy people get around Christmas time, and how intense shoppers can be.

Chipotle---one of the best fast foods out there.


Chipotle: Mexican Grill is a personal favorite of mine along with thousands in the US of A. Their food is phenomenal, their service is fast and you get a ton of food for your buck.   When I sit down and think of how they get their name out to the world nothing comes to mind. I have never seen a Chipotle commercial or an ad for Chipotle which explains why I was so shocked when I came across this commercial  I think this commercial is awesome because it shows how the food industry is lacking natural animals and using pigs and cows that are contained and locked up, and shipped off to restaurants. Chipotle does not believe in this, and wants to show that their meat is pure and straight from the farms as seen in the last part of the commercial.
    I find this commercial to be fun to watch with its cartoon characters and music. I think this commercial is very well constructed and tells a story, but is not too long. I love that Chipotle is getting their name out there and showing it's customers how they run their company

Facebook--more like Facecreep


If Facebook were a country it would be the third most populated in the world. How crazy is that? When I try and wrap my head around how many people have access to my personal information it frightens me a bit. Although Facebook has created many privacy settings, you may not really know who is creeping on your pictures or information. I stumbled upon this Facebook Awareness video a few months ago and it made me re-think what I posted on the internet, you will never know who can see you.
This video was all over Facebook in an attempt to warn users that everyone can see what you post. The man in this video is on edge, creepy and a replica of what is seen in a horror movie, and he is flipped through your personal pictures, post and friends. I respect the scare tactic used in this video, I think it truly got the point across to keep your information private as well as be knowledgeable that whatever is put on the internet can be seen by all.
