Subliminal Messaging in the Fast Food Industry

admin — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 10:00:16 +0000

This is an excellent video created by the guys at AddictiveHealth.com.

It highlights some of the subtle ways that fast food advertisers make suggestions to us and “persuade” us to eat more of their food. Is the Ronald McDonald clown just a coincidence, or is it marketing genius (or pure evil?) – xleverly thought out to get your kids to eat much more McDonalds than they otherwise would.

$11bn is spent on food advertising every year compared to only $11m on food nutrition education – is it any wonder there is a global obesity problem?

One of the main tactics which is described is taking a positive objects, images and ideas – like a clown for example (I wonder who uses a clown in their advertising) and connecting it to the food they sell – so the positive emotions you feel when you see clowns gets shared with the food!!

The result? In a study based on kids consumption of fast food the amount they ate doubled when this type of “positive linking” was used.

This video is a must watch for anyone living in our commercialized western society, and a revelation as to what tactics people are using “against” you.

This is one of the most famous examples of subliminal messaging in modern times – McDonalds flashing a subliminal message during the Food Networks Iron Chef show – they were caught and then denied it.

What do you think? Did McDonalds mean to influence you while you were thinking about food? Does this mean they have done it before or are still using these underhand techniques?

Okay, so we wanted to post another McDonalds subliminal to our collection, but to be honest this one is rubbish – don’t hold it against us – we only want to collect all instances of subliminal messages in one place.

Now don’t complain that we didn’t warn you it was a bit lame…

Arguably it vaguely looks like a silhouette of a woman / a stripper / a woman kneeling down… That’s our best guess anyway – sorry its lame, and is it even subliminal? Maybe some kids drew it on somehow?

Anyway if you have any idea what it really is let us know – and if you have any more suspect McDonalds adverts then please send them to us! Or check out our subliminal Mcdonalds adverts collection.
