Cody's Advertising Inventory

Three places where I typically spend a significant amount of time each day are my kitchen, the U of M dearborn cafeteria, and my car. In the kitchen of my house there is advertisement for McDonalds on a napkin, for Panera Bread on a mug, for everything you can imagine because the TV thats on top of the refrigerator, for microwaves, cereal, knives, apples, seasonings, oven gloves, beverages, and tupawear. On campus in the U of M dearborn cafeteria, I see many forms of advertisement such as Apple/HP/Dell/Toshiba computers, people wearing True Religion, Ed Hardy, American Eagle, U of M pullovers, Nike shoes. Also U of M notebooks, pencils, banners for sororities/faternities, napkins for the Java cafe, flyers for faternity/sorority parties, organization picnics, fund raisers etc. Of course the cafeteria has the almighty TV in which you receive 150% advertising. The U of M dearborn cafeteria is FULL of advertisement.

While on the road, in my car, there is advertising for political groups on bumper stickers, advertising for cars (jeeps, jaguars, MKZ's etc.) through emblems/billboards, brands of cigarettes & liquor, Burger King, Wendy's, Casino's(MGM, Motorcity, Greektown), colleges/universities, insurance companies on cars as a big sticker, lawn posts advertising real estate companies/individuals running for office, blimps advertising tires, and digital billboard displaying great deals at Target, Macy's etc. So as you can see, there are plenty forms of advertising in my personal environment/"frequent locations."

Adverstising is everywhere you look and go! It is also fused into everything you and I listen to. This environment influence my thinking because seeing those certain advertisements on a regular basis, in such a great amount, causes me to think "hey, im not hungry but I want some McDonalds" or that I dont need any new jeans but Im about to go by some. Also that I might consider a brand that I might note have taken a look at right off hand. These environments influence me and you greatly.
