Meth Labs Ad Summary

This has to be one of the strangest and most surprising facts I read in this book so far. Earlier in the book (before this passage), Schlosser explains that some slaughterhouse employees take methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is by definition, “a central nervous system stimulant, C 1 0 H 1 5 N, used clinically in the treatment of narcolepsy, hyperkinesia, and for blood pressure maintenance in hypotensive states: also widely used as an illicit drug,” (Dictionary.com). Schlosser warns it’s dangerous to take drugs, especially in a work environment. But it happens, and these employees take these drugs to make themselves feel good and to improve their performances throughout the day.

So overall is this advertisement effective? I would argue yes, the ad is appealing to people who drink causally or just to get drunk, so long as they don’t have an aversion to

But one thing that stands out about the ads is phrases such as “safe when used as directed”, and “use only as directed”. This is an excellent

In Tweak:Growing up on methamphetamines by Nic Sheff is a memoir written in the present tense. It takes place between 1990’s and early 2000’s in San Francisco. It recounts his addictions to various drugs, including meth and heroin, and his attempts at recovery as he reaches his early 20s. After 18 months of sobriety, he takes people down a what seems to be never ending spiral that includes an attempt at dealing drugs; hooking up with a vulnerable ex-girlfriend and calling 911 after she overdoses; burglarizing his father's house; sleeping and shooting up in his car; and going back into detox. The whole cycle of rob, score, get high, is finally broken when Nic gets caught breaking into his mother's place.

Methadone Maintenance Treatment The Methadone Maintenance Treatment (Camh) helps patients overcome an addiction of opioid dependence. The treatment uses methadone as a replacement for the opioid. Methadone is a narcotic drug that helps suppress opioid withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings for opioids, not induce intoxication (e.g., sedation or euphoria) and reduce the euphoric effects of other opioids, such as heroin (Camh). MMT is beneficial to the patient in many reasons.

The ad cleverly stepped back and forth between the idea of food and drugs while flashing quick clips of people devouring their meals. The commentator used words such as “baked, glazed, iced, and fried” to hint that the people in this commercial have more devious intentions involving narcotics. The commercial progresses following the same path through out, leaving

The creator is a lung cancer foundation, which every day handles cases of lung cancer derived by smoking cigarettes, so they have credibility itself. The audience can realize that this foundation is trying to reduce the number of people who has lung cancer by reducing the number of people consuming the cause of it, cigarettes. The non-smoker audience who oppose cigarettes use would have a strongly connection with this ad, and would accept that it is credible because they and the foundation would have similar thoughts about this issue. However, the smoker audience of this ad may feel uncomfortable with it and may not believe on the credibility of the creator.

Public health messages: 1) “Click it or Ticket”, while more of a legal slogan it also covers the public health issue of vehicle safety. This message has been used mostly by highway patrols and local police departments and can be seen and heard through television, radio, and billboards. 2) “Play 60” is the National Football Leagues anti-obesity and message to get kids to be active for 60 minutes a day. Television ads are often played during NFL games directed at parents and children likely watching the football game. 3) “Meth Not Even Once” is an anti-drug message, specifically methamphetamine.

Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamines, by Nic Sheff, is a fantastic novel about the twisted lifestyle of a drug addict and how tempting it is to stray from the path of recovery. This novel is non-fiction and is his own take on a bibliography. First drunk at the age of eleven, Nic Sheff was able to decipher his problematic childhood as the reason he fell into drugs, depression, and heartbreak. Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamines is the story of a young man who has just relapsed (yet again) and who has found himself on the streets of San Francisco, using again, but still hoping to recover the life he had before drugs.

As people living in the 21st century, we see advertisements everywhere whether it be scrolling through Facebook on a phone, listening to music on the radio, or watching funny cat videos on YouTube. There are no escaping advertisements. It’s said that throughout a person daily life they see over 400+ ads a day. Most people tune them out while living their lives, but once in while they come across an advertisement catches our full attention causing us to stop what we are doing and watch/listen to the advertisements. Not many advisements are well made that they catch all our attention.

The main claim came to light. During the commercial, the producers used prior knowledge that people are gullible and willing to believe things with little context. So they took that and ran with it. That helped develop their argument that even bad exposure is positive

Crystal meth, Its real name is Methamphetamine. It has other nicknames for crystal meth is whizz,ice,and ice. Crystal meth is a white crystal drug. It can be sniffed injected and smoked.

Methamphetamine and cocaine are both in the same category of drugs known as stimulants. Meth is completely man-made and is manufactured using common household and industrial ingredients such as over-the-counter cold/allergy medicines, drain cleaner, battery acid, gun cleaner, gasoline additives, muriatic acid, ammonia, lye, acetone and litter. Cocaine on the other hand is naturally occurring and is harvested from the leaves of the cocoa plant. While they are two entirely different drugs, both meth and cocaine have risks associated with their use, and have very high rates of dependence, abuse, and addiction. However, there are very distinct differences between cocaine and meth, in terms of how these drugs affect the individual both physically and psychologically.

If the ads had more details they would have been more effective. Some of the ads don't have background color and they could be improved by adding more colors so it can make the Goldfish logo pop out on the ads. Also the ads can be improved if they have more images that would make more people buy Goldfish snacks. The ads just have to have some more details so they can be very effective so the ads can convince that Goldfish would make a good snack that is easy to pack and that are

Using pathos in this ad is a strong asset that the ad has to offer. When the viewers see the noose, they think of death. The CDC is using the views on nooses and knives to help relate smoking to
