Just 3 Simple Ingredients


I LOVE Lay’s. They are my all-time favorite potato chips. Ever.

Hmm? I never knew that it takes 12 muscles to smile. Cool. But you know whats even more amazing? You can do that with just 3 simple ingredients! Oooooooooh!

It’s this common technique that appeals to us the most. Simple solutions. Its screaming, “If you buy this product, you will be happy!” Which, I have to admit, is pretty true for me. On the far bottom left, it states that Happiness is simple. Advertisers put this so consumers can relate this statement back to Lay’s. You want happiness? Simple, just eat Lay’s.

A couple of Jim Fowles Advertising’s 15 Basic Appeals are used to attract customers in this advertisement. Physiological needs for sure. Everyone loves a bag of potato chips. Who doesn’t? Also, the need to nurture can be satisfied. If moms see this, they will be tempts to buy this. The little girl looks so happy eating her Lay’s potato chips.  Awww!

The background colors also add to the theme and mood. Yellow associates with being full, lively, and happy. The soft, pale flush of blue and green also really make the Lay’s logo really pop out.
