After learning more about media and advertisements I noticed that many products are overly sexualized even though there is nothing sexual about the product. In my experience, food seems synonymous with sex because of how often ads are placed with a half-naked supermodel eating a big mac. Often, I witness people jokingly moan when they take a bite out of their food and stating that their food is "better than sex".
I have noticed how many people can look at an advertisement and already believe that they need that product. Especially if the product is on a special sale for a limited time only.
Media is a powerful concept and I believe what makes it so powerful is how well it works on manipulating people.
