Quick Trim Weight Loss System


In our day and time, most people mainly women are obsessed with weight loss, diet pills, cleansing, and anything that will help them lose weight. With our society, being so obsessed with being thin and healthy there is nothing that people will not try to lose those extra pounds. With this advertisement of Kim Kardashian and the Quick Trim system, it is no different. This advertisement appeals to women who want to be sexy and fit and men that want their women to be sexy and fit. With the headline saying “How Hot Can You Be?” the advertisement, imply that with this product you will be the hottest thing ever by using this system. It will make you hotter than if you tried losing weight without it. Also this advertisement is appealing because a celebrity is promoting it and that will make more people try it. What will also get people’s attention is that Kim Kardashian is a sexy and beautiful and if she achieved a body like that than so can I as well. We can be sexy and be one of the girls that men stop in their tracks to look at. By the sound of it the products seems good and even Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe Kardashian swear by it and they twitter about it and Kim Kardashian even put herself as the face of the product. What also captures the attention of people that want to try the product is the background of the advertisement. When we think of the beach, we think of tanning in the sun, bikinis, and sand castles. With this advertisement, it appeals to women who want to lose weight. It lets women know that with this product they can lose that weight and have the beach body that they have always wanted. So that the women can strut on the sand and have that body that, they wanted so that they will not be wearing t-shirts on the beach. This is also good advertising because it does not use an ultra thin women like those on most covers on magazines. It has a curvy woman that most women can relate to and achieve that body weight without killing themselves. That is why this advertisement can be appeasling to most women.

Wopper Virgins

The first time I saw this commercial I thought it was funny. Honestly, who would think of taking a Wopper and a Big Mac to some of the remote places in the world and have people try these two hamburgers and decide which the better one is. Advertisers do so many things to prove that they are the best. With this experiment that the advertisers of Burger King did they proved that they were the better hamburger and that they were better than the Big Mac.

The advertisers use Jim Fowles appeals starting with the need to achieve, dominate, attention, and the need to satisfy. The advertisement demonstrates all, of theses appeals because Burger King wants to achieve the status of being the best burgers and having the most popular burgers throughout the fast food chains. Burger King also wants to dominate the fast food industry and be the best that there is. Burger King wants to be known as having the best burgers out there and the only way they will accomplish that is by dominating. They did this by having the experiment-giving people who have never tasted these burgers and asking them which one was better. As a result, the Wopper beat the Big Mac and that proved that the Wopper was a better hamburger than the Big Mac.

The burger King advertisement also achieves the need for attention because in the title of the commercial it is called the Wopper Virgins. Right off, the bat people want to know what is going on because they see the word virgin. This commercial does a good job at capturing people’s attention. The people want to know what is going on and which hamburger is going to come out on top. The final appeal that the Burger King advertisers demonstrates is the need to achieve status. They want to be known as the best and they achieve that by making this commercial. Not only do they achieve it in remote places of the world but also they achieve it in the place where it was invented. This commercial uses many of Jim Fowles appeals to sell their product and in general they do a good job because they use a creative way in doing so.

French Toast

When I think of a fulfilling and delicious breakfast the first thing that comes into my mind is french toast. With simple ingredients, you can make a tasty breakfast or meal anytime of the day. A slice of bread, dipped in egg and milk, and cooked who thought it would taste so delicious. There are plenty of ways to eat it and make it to your liking. You can dress it with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, syrup, butter, or even whip cream. There are plenty of ways to decorate french toast so that you can satisfy your hunger. They are simple to make and do not take that much time to prepare. In no time, you can have a satisfying breakfast and decorate it with the toppings that best satisfy your taste buds. On the other hand, if you are not in the mood to cook you can go to almost any restaurant that serves breakfast and order yourself some french toast. The best french toast that I have tasted is from Denny's. What makes them good is that they are big, thick, and fill you up. All you need is the syrup, they are fine just like that, and the sugar that it comes with. IHOP's french toast is also good the only thing is that they are sweet especially when they come with the toppings. So depending on your taste buds you can choose from sweet or plain. In addition, when it comes to eating a healthy breakfast, you cannot go wrong with french toast not only are they delicious they are also healthier than pancakes. In addition, you can eat almost anything with them. You can mix them up with some egg, sausage, hash brown, or beacon (of course on the side). Therefore, the next time when you are deciding what to eat in the morning or out for breakfast with friends or family try some french toast. Not only are they tasty and can be loaded with flavor but they can be a healthier choice (as long as you do not drown them in syrup and butter).

Donuts and Doughnuts

When you are running late for school, work, or a meeting and you want something simple, fast, yet rewarding in taste, the one thing that you cannot go wrong with is doughnuts. Not only are they delicious they are satisfying in taste and there are plenty of flavors and shapes to choose from. There are glazed, ones covered in chocolate, plain, ones topped with sprinkles, and some filled with different flavors of jelly. You can choose from circled, long, or the little doughnut holes for the convenience of grab and go. In today’s time doughnuts have become the new type of breakfast sine people are in such a rush and do not have time to sit down and eat they settle for something fast and easy. It is a simple snack that can get anytime and easy to get your hands on. With a bunch of doughnut shops to choose from the one with big names such as “Yum Yum” donuts and “Krispy Kreme” to the and mom and pop shops such as Miss Donut there is a type and location for everyone. Yet when people are asked, what their favorite doughnut is most said that it is Krispy Kreme because of the unique taste it has. I personally do not see what is so good about them they are doughnuts but when you mention them to a group of people their mouths. I think that doughnut holes are the best. They are small and easy to eat all you need to do is pop one in your mouth. They are also very cheap you can get about a dozen for a dollar or a little bit more. In addition, I have notices that when there are morning meetings for a company or schools club or a class party it never fails that there are doughnuts and that those are the first to go. I think it is because of its great sweet taste. Yes, doughnuts are high in sugar and calories. It may not be the best choice for breakfast, but take into consideration the convince in locations and price it is a good deal. Doughnuts are not only affordable and convenient but there are varieties of choices that can satisfy even the pickiest sweet tooth.
