Journal 13: My favorite commercial and why?

My favorite commercial is a “junior banana split” commercial for Sonic. I found this commercial is hilarious because I got caught by the ways it is shown on television as a big, yummy ices cream boat and along with a fairly cheap seal price of .99 cents, which is over a half sell price cheaper than the regular size. I remember when my brother drove me to a doctor appointment, and we stopped by Sonic for an ice-cream boat, we ordered banana split. I recommended him to order the junior size because when we ordered the regular size we often shared, and I would like to have my own ice-cream boat at that time. For this reason, I consistently told him get a junior size because it is not only a lot cheaper, but its size is seemingly a right size for each of us as well. He intentionally opposed my opinion and ordered a regular size as he normally did. I, however, obstinately ordered a junior order and told him that he were wrong and will not going to finish it. As a roller carried out our orders, I was shock the junior size was so tiny and only equitable to little children. I know that junior size means smaller, but I can not imagine it is that small. The television commercial does an excellent job on advertising products. The junior size for banana split on TV is much larger than it is in the reality.
