Marketing Lies

10 bucks for 10 pieces of chicken. This is not a good deal KFC. Americans are smarter than ever when it comes to spending money. We are seeing new "deals" everyday through commercials, billboards, and in stores ads. Some of them are good, but they are not heavily advertised. 10 bucks for 10 pieces of chicken is one. The average American will never spend as much money as it did in the 1990's and early 2000's because we are now aware that our jobs could disappear in an instant. Unfortunately we will continue to see ads offering deals such as KFC's chicken bucket. It really is not a deal, just a clever way to word a promotion to make it seem like you are getting a nice deal. My fellow Americans... don't fall for bad marketing.

Kid Voices

Every time I hear a kid voice advertising on the radio I am forever reminded of those annoying Subway commercials. Even when it is legitimately children advertising for a company I can't help but think it is a joke. Those Subway commercials are so annoying portraying adults as childish and whiny when a colleague has something they want but cannot have (Subway). So although Subway now has the most food outlets in the world, they also have some of the worst ad campaigns.
