9. Conclusion
As a group, we were persuaded by the
Snickers advertisements that we aren’t completely
ourselves when we’re very hungry. Snickers trys
to make its point through witty comedy to stand
out and pull us into craving its delicious
nougativity. Nevertheless, these ads were very
entertaining making us laugh and how we act
when we are hungry. Eventually capitulating us to
consume this product.
