Critical Thinking Assignment
Cold season is here and nobody likes being sick so why no nip the cold in the butt, is more less what the as is saying. Zicam is clinically proven to shorten your cold. To me a cold just needs to take its course and move on. I’ve never token any kind of medication when it comes to having a cold I just dealt with it.
To me advertisement is just a way to get us the people to buy their products so they will benefit from the product. Most people don’t rush out to the doctor for a cold unless it gets worse. In the ad people not are able to understand the monster cold, majority of people are elderly and they use home remedies to fix their sickness on their own. So who makes the product Zicam and why do they want you to try their product? To simply help you get and feel better.
The thought stoppers in this ad would be the ugly monster. No one wants something so bad to enter their body, so that’s one way to get people to buy the product. Zicam has different products to help stop any sickness you may have not just a cold. So in conclusion the ad over Zicam is trying to get peoples attention to buy their product if you a cold. Most people like me just let it take its course and go on, while the other half are running out a buying the product. So for me I would be against buying Zicam for my cold, but it’s a good thing to have to nip that monster cold in the butt.
