"Hot Chicks Eat Burgers"
Audrina Patridge is a very good looking woman in her mid twenties, from a popular show called “The Hills”. Here Carl’s Jr. is using her as their model, giving false advertisement that hot chicks eat burgers. The ad is trying to give the viewers numerous promises on why they should go out and purchase one of their burgers. It gives the viewers a sense that since Audrina is so good looking and with a body like hers. In order to look like her you must eat a burger from Carl’s Jr. The ad also portrays that the viewers shouldn’t have any concerns about gaining any type of weight, because if a celebrity like her can maintain a nice body after eating a burger, so can you. Sure you can maintain a body like Audrina’s even after eating a burger. In this case only if you work out on a day to day basis and take care of your body. That is what Carl’s Jr. is not mentioning to their viewers. It also gives the viewers a sex appeal tease, to be realistic who really eats a burger on the beach in a very sexy bikini? In a man’s perspective it gives them the urge to get up and go get a burger from Carl’s Jr. How do I know this? I asked my boyfriend, and he said, “She sure makes the burger look good to eat!”. Carl’s Jr. knows that if they have a sexy celebrity eating their burgers, their sales in burgers will increase. They also lead woman to think that, if they were to sit on a beach in their bikinis eating a Carl’s Jr. burger it may attract men towards them. Just like how Audrina is attracting numerous viewers from her posture and image while eating their burger. Altogether, I think Carl’s Jr. hidden message in this ad is that Audrina Patridge is hot and she’s eating our burger. So if you want to be hot like her, go get yourself one of our burgers!

Goi Cuon
This is one of the easiest Vietnamese dishes you can make, and it’s delicious! It’s also takes less than an hour to prepare. It’s called Goi Cuon in Vietnamese, but others know it as spring rolls. It’s a thin rice wrap that’s hard at first, but once you dip it in warm water it becomes very soft and sticky. Inside is boiled shrimp and pork sliced very thin, with thin rice noodles. For vegetables, you may add bean sprouts, lettuce, green onion, and mints to your liking. The only hard thing about this dish, is when you roll it yourself. But after one or two, you should have no problem rolling them after. At my house my mom prepares everything on the table, so when you roll it you may add whatever you want to it. You can make it small or big, your choice! After you’re done rolling them, you may now enjoy it. We have a dark brown sauce that you dip the spring rolls in, which is hoisin mixed with a bit of peanut butter and crushed roasted peanuts. You may also add sirracha sauce which is a Vietnamese hot sauce to make it spicy. The sauce is what enhances the taste of the spring rolls, when it‘s warm it tastes even better. It may seem like just an appetizer dish, but four to five of these bad boys will make you full. When you bite into the roll, the outer is soft and sticky. It sticks to your lips, but once you fully bite into it you can hear the vegetables crunch, and the combination of the shrimp, pork, and the sauce savors in your mouth. Your mouth is full of goodness! I highly recommend anyone to try this dish, if they’re up for something new and different. Everyone of my friends like it, plus it’s different but not to the point where you’re scared to try it.
