Good data and elaborations. An argument I might suggest is that this family seems privileged considering they are spending time together and not working in the heat. Could coke coincide with higher class people and the activities they indulge in? Or could this add apply to anyone?
ReplyDeleteOverall good job. A few ideas: I would think about expanding on your analysis of the phrase "Too hot? Cool off! Get Pepsi!" This ad was probably before very many people had air conditioning. Was the bounce they are talking about just getting energy back by cooling off? (Remember the heat scene from "The Great Gatsby"?). Good catch on the horse's head on the inner tube. Is that there to remind people about all the great summertime horse racing? Was it just for fun or was it to imply the people in the ad have money?
ReplyDeleteDepending on the year, the horse head may also be saying that "Pepsi is an offer you can't refuse."
DeleteThe suggested theme of this add is to survive the heat of the summer is by drinking Pepsi on a hot summer day.
ReplyDeleteInteresting Ad and great analysis of rhetorical devices. The catchy phrase "more ounce to the bounce", I think you could have analyzed this more. To me, I think "you drink Pepsi - you're instantly hip and have more energy, whereas when you drink Coke you don't.
