So Expensive Series - Food Commercials
Food commercials can really take a bite out of your advertising budget.
Visual cues, sounds, logos, and slogans--these are all things used by companies to remind us that we're hungry for their food. You might be surprised to learn that some of the tricks you see in ads aren't done by computers, but by hand with the help of robots. Sound expensive? That's because it is! Discuss this with your students in NGPF's activity series based on Business Insider's web series: So Expensive.
Students will watch a video about a specific product or service, identify the specific factors of production that impact its price, and dig deeper by answering a few thought-provoking questions.
