Worst purchase made...

This is a bit of a different purchase, it was actually on a restaurant, we where in Italy in Rome. And at the evening we went out looking for a nice place to eat. And we found one that looked nice. I ordered an easy pizza or something and my parents something similar. But then they started to walk in with different servings and said things like " especially for you" and " you must taste", but we didn´t really whant it and I became a bit angry at my parents becouse they didnt decline the food, and at the end the bill came, and it was chocking, it was something like 120 or 190 euros, for 3 persons. And we where a bit stunned. But it was not a really bad purchase in that way, more of an accident that you dont whant being repeated.

Advertisements

I don't usually look on adds, but still you can't really escape from them. But a kind of advertisements is movie trailers which can be really enjoyable. One thing about them is that for example action movies allways have "the same" music in their trailers, and the are always builded in the same way, finishing off with something that makes you whant to see the movie.
Other than that i don't really have any commercial that I really appreciate, I find most commercials quite disturbing and pointless, some of them you really can laugh at, some becouse theyre fun but most of them becouse theyre quite silly. The fact that commercials mostly are showing at moments when you don't whant them makes you have a negative look on them from the start, I mean, it's allways when you whant to whatch something else that they pop upp.

reflect and share about product replacements

1. I don't necessarily notice product replacements becouse I take more notice on the movies story and if it's a well shaped film, and the actors and such things. But I think especially cars and electronic devices are common. But also if for example the movie takes place in paris and you se the Eifeltower with the restaurants around and such things, it's a kind of product replacements, but it's not replaced- it's there from the beggining. But one brand I've seen is the swedish "svenskt tenn" which is a fabriquebrand, and it's in the movie "Mamma Mia", and maybe that's becouse the title Is swedish.

2. the pros with product replacements is that the movie shows to be more realistic, with real brands. The cons I think is that it's in most cases only the richer and more famous companies that can have their stuffs involved. And that only makes them even more richer, I think. And for example if it's a not so healthy food company and people wants to buy their food even more.

3. There is many advertisements on the computer and on sites, maybe in games they can have product replacements the same way as movies got them, but not as I have noticed yet, but I don't play that many games so.
