By making big advertisements out of small products, they know that people will start to purchase the product more and it will become a bigger thing and they will get more money.

 * Chapter Three:**

Chapter three is talking about how advertisers are now persuading you to buy a product. Instead of asking you to buy the product they are suggesting that you will buy the product. They are putting in their ads things that will make you more interested, as in, "This product is amazing," or, "This is the best product ever." These certain words are what make the viewers curious about the product and more likely to purchase them. Advertisers are also using bright colors, fun pictures, models, and making their product look better then what is actually is. This is persuading the viewers to buy the product because it is appealing.

It also talks about how advertisers are using certain logos or pictures with their product. For food targeted towards younger children, they use colorful and more childish icons to reel in younger people. Most of the food that they would want would be surgery foods. People started to say that they should use their power to also bring kids to try healthier food or make their products more healthy.
