Extra Gum's "The Story of Sarah and Juan" is a far fetched but is a very moving advertisement. The commercial depicts how a male and a female, Juan and Sarah, meet in High School because of a piece of gum. Throughout the rest of the commercial we see that Sara and Juan remain together, and eventually, they get married. The culminating theme is that Extra Gum can bring people together. As such, the commercial uses a pathos charged song with deep sentimental situations to aide in its rhetoric.Extra argues that because this young couple found happiness through Extra Gum, anyone can.

  • Extra Gum Advertisement Analysis

    531 Words  | 2 Pages

    This advertisement pronounces two very important themes: Extra is always there and Extra can be used as an 'awkwardness' bypass. The advertisement backs both of these claims with various scenes, analyzed above. These scenes follow a very linear path in the lives of a couple and how they develop and how Extra helps them develop. It is almost if Extra helped create their relationship and maintained it. This advertisement screams that Extra will always be there with you, through thick and thin, by practically following the lives of a couple. Finally, they end the advertisement very abruptly with 'Give Extra, Get Extra'. This could have been their direct theme to get you to buy Extra: Give someone gum and they will marry you. However, I believe that theme is a very pronounced theme that develops itself through the help of the not-so-pronounced themes mentioned
