Customers who have tried other hot dog cookers talk about how extremely satisfied they are when the hot dog cooker cooked at a fast rate and was able to cook several hot dogs in a short amount of time. Customers who did not encounter any manufacturing problems or technical errors on this exact device praised the cooker for being a significantly better alternative to cooking hot dogs in a microwave, stove, or grill. According to reviews, the main advantage of this product is how quickly it prepares hot dogs, far superior to grills and stoves, and while microwaves can rival their speed, they sacrifice hot dog quality to do so. Customers also loved the simplistic design of it and because of its easy usage and cheap price tag, and thus, when it works, this product was praised on several accounts. There were several issues with this product, however. The main issue according to various customer reviews discussed technical problems that were encountered when using the device. This included the entire frame being poorly made and having significant cracks and the slide for toasting the hot dogs and buns jamming, preventing the device from toasting at all. All in all this is a very well received product when it works, however it’s inexpensive design is of poor quality which causes it to break easily and have reliability issues. The product didn’t work in numerous cases with its overall cheap design being the most criticized amongst many dissatisfied
This advertisement is partly aimed at children because of the use of a young Frankie Muniz, from an easily recognizable television show. They include a milk mustache which would make children laugh, but also shows that Frankie Muniz is a strong boy who has attained his strong biceps by drinking milk. Kids always look up to people that are older them, especially movie stars, which increases the chances of them consuming milk to try and be like them. However, this ad is mainly aimed at parents. “Want Strong Kids?” “Milk has nice essential nutrients your kids’ active bodies need. Which means you’d better remember to save some for yourself.” The use of these words on the ad clearly shows that it is aimed at parents by saying “your kids” and asking if “you” want strong kids? This is very effective in the sense that it gives the parents a sense of importance. It puts the parents in charge and gives them responsibility if their kid will grow up healthy and
The audiences of the commercial are both men and women. Teens are also a highly targeted audience because they are the main demographic of the line and are the most likely consumers of the product.

Additionally, the tag-line of the perfume bottle ‘Oh, how the ghost clings to you’ suggests, like a perfume, Nostalgia is a tantalizing illusion which people to hold onto as a way of escaping realism, a factor the Comedian knew none of, “In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagines past” (Alan Moore, Watchmen). This idea that society retreats back into nostalgia as a way of protecting oneself is symbolised through the Nostalgia bottle in chapter 9, page 24, with Laurie and Dr. Manhattan on Mars when Laurie realises the Comedian is her father. After Laurie discovers her earliest nostalgic memory regarding the broken snow globe is a misconception, she starts unscrewing her mother’s Nostalgia perfume lid (which was given to Laurie as a gift), her adult face reflected in the bottle. This visually represents the riddance of nostalgia she, and her mother, have harboured all these years, her reflection being a call-back to her face in the snow-globe (her earliest memory) allows her to see realistic events rather than the illusions Nostalgia created. Laurie throws the bottle causing it to slowly spin while the contents pour out, once again visually representing how nostalgic memories are full of deception and play out slowly. The final panel on page 24 shows the bottle of perfume being smashed, signifying the draining of Laurie’s nostalgia, leaving her empty. It is at this climatic point, Laurie discovers she has had misconceptions of the Comedian all her life and has now been brought back to the shocking reality she is his daughter. Overall, ...

Today's young people are generally unresponsive to traditional brand marketing messages. Teens spent $12 billion dollars last year according to a recent study of Teen Marketing Trends. Teens not only use their money on small purchases such as music, clothes and food but also have the power to influence high-end purchases of their parents. Every year younger teens are being marketed because that they are the future teenagers and brand loyalty is an important thing to many companies.
