more popular, even in Mexico, “regional versions of tacos began to appear.” Much like other Mexican cuisines, culturally, people made it their own and essentially because “the Americanized tacos provoked outrage from many Mexicans…But beyond a common distaste for “gloopy” North American versions, there is surprisingly little consensus about what is properly Mexican, even in Mexico.” So, in the end Pilcher could not find out exactly where tacos started, but he did discover “how a particular idea…

advertisers aim to persuade people to 'buy' their particular product or service. As we have said, an interesting strategy is to use different languages mixed so as to reach more people and become international. It is the case of the following company: Taco Bell. Let's have a look → Why is this commercial different? It is different because of the visual content, the design and the unusual language. As my partners have said, the images attract the attention of the intended audience: they are a…

Should one follow the law of the land or their conscience? Taking a page from the marketing tactics of Old El Paso Taco Shells, I ask why we can’t do both? With a population of over seven billion, human beings are never going to come to a consensus about what the ultimate conduct guide should be. Still, the two main sides of the debate are that one should either follow the rule of law or their own conscience. However, I do not think that both sides are mutually exclusive. After all, the…

Juan Jose goes to the Mexican restaurant to buy his favorite type of taco. He gets in the very long line behind a nice old lady. Juan opens up his wallet to get ready to pay, but he is out of money!

Courterś diction, examples, and topic sentences create a humorous piece that criticizes the lack of reading among college students. Courter purposely imitates his students’ mistakes throughout the piece, and he incorporates several plays on words to further his point that students are unaware of their mistakes. The numerous imitations introduced at the…

miles from a fast food restaurant. So, it's good to have some variety right? Taco Bell is one of the most well known "Mexican" fast food restaurants in the country. It wasn't always this way. Struggling to even open a restaurant to being such a popular one is quite an achievement. The creator of Taco Bell, Glen Bell, didn’t start out with a restaurant known as Taco Bell. He started a business known as Bell’s Drive-In and Taco Tia in 1954. Eight years later he decided to retire from Bell’s…

The first case involves the American Red Cross. The Red Cross is well known for its emergency response, disaster management assistance and humanitarian aid efforts. Though the crisis at hand is relatively minor is scope, it was an embarrassing moment and could have had an impact on donors – a large…

techniques used by the Wendy’s commercial were more of a slander attempt in opposition to the Taco Bell commercial which took more of a promotion of self-approach. The way the commercials went about promoting their fast food companies with the content itself was also very varying. In the Wendy’s advertisement, they used more of a focus group setting, which helped them establish more credibility, the Taco Bell advertisement used more of a field test method, which in-turn manufactured more emotion…
