EOC- Week 6 Favorite Soup

I like soup, but there are some soups that are better than others. I really like vegetable soup, for the chucky potato pieces and the vegetable broth. I like it because it is chunky and has many different flavors in it. Anytime I go into a restaurant I usually try to get vegetable soup. The vegetable taste fresh and they are soft. I like the taste of the broth and the way it slides down my throat with a rich taste of vegetable in it. I really like vegetables so the soup hits my taste buds like an explosion. The vegetable beef is also good as well, it’s just like vegetable soup but has bits of beef in it. The beef adds some flavor into the soup and just gives a little kick into your soup than just having vegetables in it. It also adds some extra protein into your meal. Chunky soups are better in my opinion due to the texture and the new flavors you receive from each bite you take.

If I were to come up with a new Campbell’s soup, I would suggest a cheddar potato and bacon soup. It would almost be like a baked potato. It would be exceptionally cheesy, with big chunks of potato and pieces of salty bacon. If you would like the more baked potato feel you could add sour cream on top of your soup. The soup would be thick with tons of texture and be absolutely delicious. A baked potato reminds me of a home cooked meal and is a comfort food for me as me as well as many others. It would be great addition to any kitchen pantry.

Week 5 EOC- Super Bowl Commercials

The commercials are the best part of the Super Bowl. The Dockers Pants commercial really caught my eye because all you see are men walking around in a field wearing no pants. While singing “Pants, Pants” I thought it was so funny and couldn’t stop singing “Pants, Pants” for at least an hour after the commercial. I thought it was a great way to get people’s attention by stating off a commercial with half naked men singing about pants.
A certain Doritos commercial also got my attention. It was the commercial where a creepy guy comes to pick up his date who just happens to be a mom. The guy thinks he is so cool and gets a real reality check when the little boy slaps him for taking one of his Doritos. My favorite part is when the little boy says, “Put it back,” then goes to say, “Don’t touch my momma and don’t touch my Doritos.” The Doritos commercials are always funny but I think this one may have topped the charts in my book.
I also really liked the Dove Mens commercial. I thought it was great and although some people did not like the commercial I thought it really caught with a guy growing up with different stages of his life. It was fascinating how at the end it implies that you have lived most of your life getting where you are now, you deserve to live in a skin that you are comfortable in. I liked the song that went through the commercial and it ends in “Because you’re a man.” My favorite part of the whole commercial though was the part when it says having kids that look just like you and three heads pop up while in the bath tub and they are exact replicas of the main guy. That part made me laugh and was probably the part that made me remember that commercial.

Week 4 EOC Mad Men

I really like the show Mad Men. It kept me very interested and I think it taught me a little about the advertising world. It was interesting to see the development and struggle the main character had in order to discover and idea on how to sell their particular brand of cigarettes. I learned a little bit about how sometimes a marketing plan can be the opposite of what you want but can help for you to get to where you want to go. In the clip that we saw all of their marketing planning were completely going in the other direction and would not help them sell their cigarettes. Near the end of the clip he finally figured out how to sell his cigarettes by making the customer’s happiness come first and to find a new way to sell their cigarettes without making the customer’s automatically think of cancer when they think of cigarettes. Customer happiness should always be brought into consideration. It is the best way to get your product to sell, you must appeal to your customer.

Week 4 EOC Superbowl Commerical

My favorite Superbowl commercial is by Coca-Cola, it is titled Happiness Factory. I like that it’s pretty much all fantasy. It shows your bottle of coke that you get from the vending machine is magical. Every bottle is made with love and creativity and everyone loves Coca-Cola. I love that the commercial takes you on an adventure while the coke is being put together and in the vending machine and really makes you want to go to a vending machine to get yourself a coke just to wonder if your bottle of coke is being made the exact same way. I think it is effective because it is so creative that everyone is going to want to stop and watch the commercial. This commercial appeals to everyone, kids love the fantasy and will want to get a coke in hopes that their coke is being made just like on TV. Adults know if they like coke or not but the creativity of the commercial makes you respect Coca-Cola for their willingness to try something new that hasn’t been done before. I also find the creativity and fantasy of the commercial very appealing. I love watching it and would love to watch it many more times to come. I hope Coca-Cola continues on with the ideas and stays along the same process, for a little while at least.
