Hidden Messages: What do they really mean?

Many commercials, messages, and ads in the world have hidden messages or pictures. Some are just to advertise the company even more and others are to convey messages that have a meaning of some sort to the customers. One example of advertising the company more is the Pirates of the Caribbean logo. The skull is in the shape of the Mickey Mouse head, which advertises the Disney Company. Many other Disney products have hidden Mickey Mouse shapes to get people looking as a game which gives the company more popularity. There are even shapes hidden around theme parks! This act has increased the attention and fortune of the Disney Company.

Another commercial that has a hidden image is the commercial for the KFC snacker. If you pause the commercial at one point, the lettuce in the burger turns into a dollar bill which can have different meanings. One thing it could symbolize is that the burger is cheap because you will save money by getting it back. The reason that the company put it in the commercial is because they wanted to give the customers a challenge to try to find the dollar for a prize. This only got KFC more attention and customers between the game and the message of saving money.

Although there are a few advertisements that have extra advertising, most send inappropriate messages children shouldn’t see. I believe these are unethical and should not be out for everybody to see, especially when they are on products like Coca Cola, phonebooks, McDonalds, and many other normal things that kids see. There might be some advertisements that encourage good messages, but most are just to catch attention.
