65 Food Ads and Marketing Promos

From Natural Chicken Promotions to Profane French Fries

— April 8, 2010 — Marketing
Food brands and marketers will always be trying to get our attention, spending money to create food ads and marketing schemes including shockvertisements, controversial billboards and provocative commercials.

While some argue that enough is enough--consumers should be able to make up their own minds--I'm the type of person who loves to see a good advertisement or marketing campaign. Whether or not it actually convinces me to buy the food item in question is an entirely different matter. Regardless, food ads and marketing promos abound. Check out this cluster to see which ones you recognize, like/dislike or have convinced you to eat something you wouldn't otherwise.
