Personal Narrative: Frostie Blue Iceie Cream Soda

In her article “Advertisements R Us,” Melissa Rubin notes that Coke’s message in the ad she analyzes is that “Coke will refresh and unite working America” (249). Her evidence for this is based on several things—for instance, right in the middle of ad sits a large Coke machine and the bottom of the ad explicitly states, “A welcome host to workers—Inviting you to the pause that refreshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola” (249). She concludes her article with the insight that “Coke ads helped shape the American identity,” pointing to the underlying message of the ad that Coke can provide the carefree, joyful life it never fails to portray in its ads to everyone who takes a sip (250).

Based on what I have learned during Unit 5’s reading material, I would like to create an advertisement for a product that has been in existence for 130 years and that is Coca-Cola (www.coca-colacompany.com). Seeing that this product has been along longer than anyone living today, we could capitalize on the constancy of the product in the average person’s life. Coca-Cola has partially attained that constancy since storing long-term memories in the hippocampus requires a large number of phase processing to transition from short-term memory to long-term memory (Unit 5 PDF based reading material). Memories of childhood with parents, siblings, friends, loved-ones are based gatherings where food and drink are shared. I guarantee that there are many childhood or adolescent mnemonics and eidetic images of the Coca-Cola at the neighborhood diner, movie theatre, and domicile décor are prolific and constant in our memories.

I am a self-proclaimed chocoholic. Seeing that I adore all things chocolate, it is no surprise that my favorite Tootsie Pop flavor is chocolate. Whenever I tear off the wrapper of a chocolate Tootsie Pop, I am thrilled. They are delicious. I enjoy chocolate Tootsie Pops because they are, well, chocolate. Tootsie Pops do a wonderful job of making their products taste like chocolate. Coupled with the creamy Tootsie center, chocolate Tootsie Pops are a chocolate lover’s dream. Therefore, chocolate Tootsie Pops are my favorite

On the way home I thought about asking Soda about my essay. I knew Soda would tell me that “it was perfect and that I was so smart”, Darry would say “it needs more information”. When I walked into the house Soda had a weed and a letter in his hand, I thought to myself “It’s very strange for Soda to smoke.” He only smokes when he needs to calm his nerves. When i looked at his face closer he looked happy but mad. I asked “What’s wrong.” He didn’t reply, so I sat down next to him and the letter was from Sandy! The letter said “ Hello Soda i’ve missed you.” “There is something very important that i should have told you a long time ago.” “ I lied when I found out that I was pregnant I was so happy but, I thought that it would hold you back from being you.” That’s when I decided to move to Florida. “ I made you believe that the baby was someone else’s when it’s actually yours.” Right now your baby girl is five months old.” “ Soda i’m really sorry for any pain I caused but, if you want to see her I will give you the money for you and your brothers to come see her.” “ From Sandy.” Soda quickly crumbled up the paper and ran out the door. Shortly after that Darry was home from school.

Anxiously waiting in my seat at the Harry Potter Premier, I tasted the rainbow for the first time. As Harry, Hermine and Ron tackled their year at Hogwarts, I enjoyed an explosion of sweet, juicy favors inside of my mouth. I had found my pot of gold. It was like snape had sent Wrigley’s a magic potion and I was under their colorful spell. Never would I watch another quidditch match without a magical packet of delight.

Many junk food advertisements are aimed to attract certain audiences in specific. Carl’s Jr advertisements with the women in bikinis are aimed to attract an older audience while the animated commercials for Lucky Charms or Frosted Flakes are aimed towards children. Recently, Coca-Cola Company has come up with the “Share a Coke” campaign in which the Coke plastic bottles now have an extensive range of common names; customers can then look for their friends’ names and “share a Coke”. This marketing strategy has proven to be very effective amongst the youth with teenagers posting pictures of their customized coke on social media such as Instagram or Facebook. Coca-Cola has even gone as far as creating a website for the sole purpose of customizing cokes for special occasions. The homepage of shareacoke.com includes three options for customizing America’s favorite soda, “Celebrate Birthdays”, “World Champions”, and “Wedding Party Fun.” The website even goes as far as offering free shipping for orders of twelve cokes or more. Back in 2013, Coca-Cola came up with “The Honest Coca-Cola Obesity Commercial” in which it listed

During the marvelous summer of 2008 in the quiet, little town of Gladstone, Oregon lived a 6 year old girl who went by Kiera. Kiera Ciano was her name, that’s me, and I absolutely adored Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup. The taste, the texture, the smell, all of it, was simply incredible.

If I were to be an ice cream flavor, I would be Neapolitan ice cream. Neapolitan ice cream has layers of three different flavors and I consider myself a multi-layered person, there is always something more to uncover about me. There's layers in my personality, interests, music taste, food taste, and my likes or dislikes. I can't be defined by one single characteristic or in this case, flavor. The variations of flavors represent different aspects about me, but when combined together everything is balanced. I try to be balanced with my social life and education. I guess you can say that vanilla represents my educational goals, never straying away from the main goal, strawberry represents how I live my life, it’s smooth, sweet, but will have chunks

“One day I’m going to be really smart and go to WPI just like my big brother Brian!” I declared one morning as I indulged in a large stack of chocolate chip pancakes. I was a mere six year old girl, my mouth filled with rows of tiny baby teeth and my hair affixed in bouncy ponytails. At the time, I had a very limited view on what WPI was, but that didn’t stop me from proclaiming this proud statement with the most determination my tiny body could muster to anyone who would listen. Admittedly, my main motivation for attending WPI may have been the chocolate chip cookie my brother would award me when I visited his dorm. However, as time has progressed I have come to realize that WPI has a lot more to offer than chocolate chip cookies. In turn, I believe that I am an excellent match for WPI’s unique experience.

It is not to milk the cows or feed the chickens, it’s to make a fresh batch of ice cream. His morning at Kline’s Dairy Bar lasts until 10:30 AM, when the serving begins.

I sit exhausted as I stir my morning coffee. I guess watching pointless amounts of late night infomercials didn’t really do anything for my health. I spilled some grains of sugar on the table and stuck one of the little specks to my finger. I sat for a second, but then I realized how insignificant one single grain of sugar really is. One grain of sugar couldn’t do anything at all to my coffee, and as a matter of fact if this particular grain did not exist it wouldn't really matter.

He yells at me to come to bed for the fiftieth time. “Mrrrowww,” I respond like a scolding mother. Snickers is very impatient, demanding my attention every few seconds until I cave. He is like a needy child forever whining for my undivided care. I suspect that my little package of sass and fur is more human than cat. While my little sister scarfs down her food and spills down the front of her stained shirts, Snickers is always very delicate and neat, only eating a few pieces of kibble at a time. If I am eating ice cream, he will appear at my feet in an instant, expecting me to share. If someone is making a bed, he will jump onto the unmade mattress to “help”. And by help, I mean he gets covered with a sheet and attacks your hands like he’s playing a game of whack-a-mole.

I was watching TV today and I saw a Jim Beam commercial featuring the actress Mila Kunis. In this commercial Mila talks about how Jim Beam has made their bourbon the same way that they have for years and years. Mila talks about how their bourbon better with age and people expect the great traditional taste. This commercial reminded me of the concept of tradition, because Jim Bean has a certain perception and behavior that consumers in American culture see this to be. Like any tradition it needs to stand the test of time and have people rely on it year after year and this commercial reminded me of just that. Jim Beam is like a tradition to their consumers and their consumers experience tradition every time they drink this old aged bourbon that takes years to produce. Drinking old age bourbon is a behavior that many American consumers experience an enjoying using. Like traditions consumers rely consistence and reliability and that is what Jim Beam does and this commercial reminded me of this concept that we talked about today in

Coca-Cola has been around for many decades, and it is known as a carbonated soft drink, that traditionally brings family and friends together. In the Brotherly Love commercial by Coca-Cola, the advertisers focus their attention towards the people that had or have a teasing relationship with their sibling(s). With this in mind, Coca-Cola creates an emotional reaction that causes the audience to recall special memories with their sibling(s). Ultimately the Coca-Cola commercial is based on a stereotypical relationship between an older and younger brother, with a twist at the end, by using a light hearted song, and different scenes between the brothers with the product making a statement that Coca-Cola is always there in the troubling and pleasant moments.

On Monday, May 22, 2017, my mother and I visited the Museum of Ice Cream. The museum isn’t your typical museum, there wasn’t much about the history of ice cream or why it was made, it was more of an interactive art museum. There are ten different galleries in the museum with gigantic ice cream themed art. These rooms include, a gummy bear themed room, a banana split room, a chocolate mint room, a melting popsicle room, and more. Almost every room came with samples of ice cream and candies, it was absolutely magic!
