1. False Advertising Essay There are many types of companies that carry false advertising in their products in order to increase commercial sales. In today's world, we all want our money's worth of what we are purchasing. In false advertising, we are being mislead and deceived in what we are really buying. Weight loss products often advertise that if you indeed take their product, you will lose the desired amount of weight. They show you pictures of people who have lost weight "using this product" and in addition to the pictures, they also inform you of the benefits you will acquire if you consume their product. What they regret to inform you in the big print is that the only way to acquire these results is with diet and exercise, therefore they are misleading...show more content... The foods in the advertisements you see are not exactly edible. The agencies that are hired to create these products use cosmetic chemicals to enhance colors so the products appear to be fresh. They do this so they can boost its virtual appeal, concluding the point of not everything you see in advertising is necessarily true. Consumers are greatly affected by these deceptions. People who purchase a product and later realize that they did not receive what they thought they were paying for are dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction will eventually lead consumers to never purchase that product again, which will cause sales to drop for that company. By word of mouth, internet, and other means of communication these companies' profits will plunge due to consumer discontent. Also, if companies are falsely advertising and fail to mention a certain aspect of their product to consumers and that consumer happens to be allergic to that certain aspect of the product, it may lead to a potential lawsuit.

About three quarters of these books include sections on false advertising (generally large ones), the steps taken in preventing it, and how much of it you see every day. I think John Lahr put it best when he said "Society drives people crazy with lust and calls it advertising.". What he meant in my opinion was that advertising is simply meant to tease and really has little bearing on real life (other than to sell the product). That ties directly in with false advertising, because if something has little bearing on real life and the companies are trying to say that it does have bearing on real life, it is falsely advertising the product. A good way to demonstrate this would be if every family in America with a television saw one advertisement which twisted the facts approximately 99% of Americas families will have been sold on a product when they are not getting the absolute truth. Some television ads are misleading. There should be no doubt in your mind about that now. There have been hundreds of books, articles, and surveys written which help prove this. If you turned on your television right now chances are somewhere on it you would find an ad which significantly twists either the image of what the company is selling or actually twisting what the product itself does.
