The article, A more svelte Oreo will tempt the cookie's traditionalists, written by Washington Post was about "milk's favourite cookie", Oreo and their new cookie, Oreo Thins. These sandwich cookies are expected to be, "slightly wider and just a little over half as thick as the original wafers," according to Washington Post. The new design is interesting because the cookies are created to be consumed straight from the packet, instead of being twisted, licked and then dipped into milk like the original wafers. These new wafers are 7 calories less than the original, but are not meant to be eaten as a diet cookie. Oreo thins are will probably make a lot of profit, since Oreos are, without doubt, the most widely purchased cookies throughout history.…

The Skittles commercial entitled “Romance” begins with a zoomed-in camera angle of a teenage boy pouring a bag of skittles into his hands. At this point it is visible that the boy is wearing a blue hoodie accompanied by a blue, gray, and white shirt. The skittle bag itself is exaggerated in color and works to draw the attention of the viewer to the bag as its brilliant red gleams comparatively to the dull background of the boy's shirt. As the skittles are poured into the hands of the boy, the sound of the skittles rustling down and out of the bag is also audible compared to the relative silence that surrounds it.…

Andrew Barker, brand manager for Snapple beverages at the Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., has been charged with the task of assessing a new market opportunity for the brand. The decision has been made by senior company management to explore a new energy beverage as a part of a corporate business strategy to focus on opportunities in high-growth and high-margin beverage businesses. Barker must determine whether or not a profitable market opportunity exists for a new energy beverage brand to be produced, marketed, and distributed by the company. He must then make a recommendation as to whether or not the company should introduce a new branded product into the energy beverage market.

Studies have shown that many people all over the world are unaware of where their food comes from. When an individual goes to consume a food product, he or she could be completely oblivious to the methods of manufacture, processing, packaging or transportation gone into the production of the food item. It is often said that ‘ignorance is bliss’ – perhaps this rings true in the case of food, its origins and its consumption as well. In such a scenario, eating well could seem like an unlikely prospect. The definition of ‘eating well’ in modern times seems to have gone from eating healthily, to eating ethically. The manner in which food is produced and consumed has changed more rapidly in the past fifty years than it has in the previous ten thousand years (Pollan and Schlosser, 2008). With this swift transformation, various ethical issues came to the fore. Food production is now done large scale in factories, rather than in farms. Mass production of various types of food, from crops and vegetables to seafood and meat, is very much the norm. The fact that food is mass produced nowadays is already something that a lot of people do not know about. The reason behind this is that food producing firms do not want the consumers – their customers – to know too much about the food manufacturing industry (Pollan and Schlosser, 2008), in the fear that customer loyalty could be lost upon their finding out various truths. To retain their customer base, according to documentary film ‘Food, Inc.’, narrated by Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the image associated with food in the United States of America is that of an American farmer. Various motifs plastered all over food packaging and advertisements for food products, such as green pastures for grazing cattle, picket fences, the typical farmhouse, vast meadows and, most importantly, the farmer, lead consumers to believe that their food still comes from farms, or at least a pastoral version of small time cottage industries. With…
