Oscar Mayer

Hello All! I wanted to touch on a topic we talked about today in class and an ad that supported it. I was flipping through a People magazine and came across a page which caught my eye. This ad is for Oscar Mayer and shows half the page with a photo of a new sandwich they offer and the other half explaining its 'greatness'. Right below the picture is in big red letters; "Blogworthy." , obviously after being in this class it caught my eye and gave me a chuckle. Below the ad read "At under 350 calories, Deli Creations Flatbread Sandwiches from Oscar Mayer are worthy writing about. With everything you need packed fresh, you can create a delicious sandwhich wrapped in warm, soft flatbread in a micorowave minute. For the love of lunch. " I found this ad funny in numerous ways and just proves how corporate media is picking up indy ways. The Oscar Mayer corporation is attemtpting to pick up a certain demographic. It is providing a new, healthy alternative way of eating junk, and trying to do it with style. I figure that Oscar Mayer is reaching out to a younger generation, one with computers. I would be interested to inquire what other ads they have put out in recent times, and if they are also relevent to the web.
