Burgers
This might seem like a very plain topic, but I think i am going to raise some awareness on this one. As you and I both know, the burger is the all-American food. It is one of the only foods that we as a nation can claim is ours. It is almost like a tradition here. Burgers go way back. Nowadays, burgers and fries are ultimately everywhere we go. Burgers are a unique food because they can be made in so many different ways shapes and forms and awe can find them just about anywhere that we go.
Burgers are eaten by most of the population in the United States. Your probably thinking, well some people are vegetarians so that is not true, but there is a such thing as a veggie burger and those are very popular too. This is why burgers are so unique, and plus they can be prepared in various ingredients and cooked to your preference. When you go to a more upscale diner, you are usually asked how you want your burger prepared, you can order is as medium, medium well, medium rare, rare or well done. Something that is amazing though is how fast food places have harnessed burgers over the years. They make then small, cheap and tasty. You know that when your eating one of these burgers that your thinking to yourself how cheap these burgers are but you continue due to the sheer fact that they are usually 99 cents on the value menu and are tasty. Probably the only fast food burger that you will ever order and be completely satisfied with is an In n out burger. I do not know their secret but whatever it is, it works. At fast food places you cannot order your burger to your temperature that you like because it is a health hazard and well done is all that you are going to receive. Furthermore, you can grill burgers yourself on the barbecue and add all the necessary ingredients on your burger to make it meet your perfect standard. This is another reason that the burger is so unique. it is one of the only meals where you can pile so many different types of ingredients on it to make it more tasty. You have lettuce, onions, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, pickles and cheese. It is amazing how much you can do with a burger.
Burgers are really popular as you can see. Everyday there are tons millions of people in burgers in all sort of different ways whether is be through fast food places, at a diner, or just home cooked. It is a meal that you can always fall back and depend on because no matter where you go, you will most likely have the option of getting a burger and french fries. They are tasty and usually affordable and can be customized to the way that you like it. It is the all-American food.
Italian Food
There is a lot of different types of foods. In fact there are so many different types of foods that we most likely will not even have had half of these foods in our life time. There is one kind of food that that has stood out amongst all and is eaten in just about every country in this world, and that is Italian food. You are probably thinking that yes, you already knew this but if you look deeper into it, you will be astounded by how much Italian food is used and and eaten every single day.
From pastas, to pizzas, sauces and meats to all sorts of delicious snacks and appetizers and all those herbs that we use daily such as basil, parsley,oregano and garlic, we can see that Italian food is everywhere. Even if you are not eating Italian food, you are probably using toppings that originate from Italy for more spice to your meal. It is amazing. When you go to ultimately any diner, you will see that they have a section for pastas. You can argue that pasta is one of the most eaten meals in society today. The most standard pasta would be spaghetti or penne, with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese. Every single bit of food on that plate is of Italian decent. Moreover, think about all those cheeses that we cherish also like provolone, parmesan and mozzarella, they are everywhere. All those string cheeses we head growing up consisted of mozzarella and all pizzas either consist of mozzarella or parmesan which is also an Italian cheese. Think about how big pizza is in the United States. Everybody eats pizza. I was watching a clip on television about what the average family eats in each country and when it showed the Unites States families, pizza consisted of a huge amount of our daily intake. To add to that, the main topping that is on pizza is usually pepperoni, which is also an Italian meat. Think about how much salami is eaten everyday in sandwiches or any kind of meal of that sort. There is also pancetta which is an Italian bacon used for flavor on many dishes and there is also prosciutto which is a very common meat. Furthermore, how much marinara sauce is used everyday. Marinara is just as big as ranch or bigger. Also we use spices daily to make our foods stand out and be more delicious. Parsley, garlic and basil are some of the most popular herbs in the world.
Take a look at what you are eating next time and see if there is anything that resembles Italian descent on it. As you probably now can see, Italian food dominates us consumers. It is just one of those foods that can be used in so many instances.

Jack in the Box Ad's
Something that has continually kept up its originality and caught our attentions over the years are the Jack in the Box advertisements. They are so captivating and clever that it seems to woe us in every time we see one of them. They have got to the point where people will even mention a Jack in the Box advertisement to someone else in regards to how funny the commercial was and ask them if they have seen it. I think that Jack in the Box has a great market scheme going on and if they keep up the cleverness it will only keep attracting people for time to come, not to mention that they also have superb value menu.
The character "Jack" is known to all across the United States. He has been exposed as a piece of merchandise or through commercials. The commercials are what seem to prevail due to the sheer fact that Jack is always doing something different in each commercial. But in the end, the commercial somehow captivates us as an audience whether it be through laughter or just through its uniqueness. Even if you do not find the commercial funny, you will find yourself looking at it because of its uniqueness and individuality. Jack in the Box has a pretty good thing going on with these commercials and if they are able to preserve the originality of the ad, it will benefit their franchise for years to come.
Furthermore, Jack in the Box is everywhere. It is a national hit and people usually like to resort to Jack in the Box in times of urgency and quickness for food. Also some people are just plain out addicted to it. The value menu is phenominal and nearly perfect. It literelly has any kind of food for 99 cents. The two tacos for 99 cents are most definitely the largest hit on the value menu. It is almost a steal because if you buy 2 dollars worth of tacos you are bound to be full. Genius marketing on their part. The value menu also makes perfect for those hungry and lurking drunks at 2 or 3 in the morning. These people have the drunk munchies and order up a storm. Most Jack in the Box's are open 24 hours too which puts them ahead of the game. I know that I, almost 100 percent of the time , only order off the value menu. The value menu is also economy friendly because of its affordability. A combination of all these things make Jack in the Box superior to most fast food places.
If you look at what Jack in the Box has done, you can see how much they are dominating in all these different aspects. Over the years Jack in the Box has only become more well known and I think that the path that they are headed on will only continue to gain them recognition for time to come. Remember next time you are watching television, look out for one of those Jack in the Box commercials and see what they do that is so captivating.
