Reliability, Bias, Inferences



This is a Chupa Chups advertisement for a sugar-free lollipop. I know that there is a lollipop from this brand that is in fact sugar free. It uses a lot of different artificial sweeteners, such as splenda and aspartame. I think that the source is reliable, because such a big company couldn't tweak information on something so blunt, and the ingredients are very clear. Of course, however, there is bias, because it's an advertisement and they're trying to sell their products. Otherwise, the risk of artificial sweeteners (another perspective) would be mentioned.
I can infer that they are trying to sell this to people who love candy, but want ot watch their weight. I think that this ad is using a creative way to promote its sugar free products. Instead of body shaming or guilt tripping, they use this so that people don't stop buying their products all together as a result of guilt.

I mean if I get too sleepy in the mornings, I might lag behind in class and not pay much attention. That would be bad. Also, I don't get ...

My Superpower

Wow! I get a chance to choose between 2 superpowers! This is kind of a hard choice, I mean, invisibility. Imagine all of the things you could use that amazing skill for. Flight. It just sounds so amazing. However, I think I would go with flight. If you are wondering why I have chosen this, keep on reading (I hope this can convince someone who disagrees with me!). The first reason I chose flight is because, it is something I have always wanted to do. It sounds so exciting and fun-filled. Picture this, you slowly start rising higher and higher into the air. The breeze is cool, and the sun is beautiful and golden. Small birds are chirping around you, while you look down and see a wonderful view of people skittering around. You could even rise up into a cloud, even though that might not be the best idea if it seems stormy. You can surprise your parents and friends all the time. Can't you imagine their shocked appearance? I would be using this on my little brother a lot (evil grin)!...
