Card stacking• Makes the best case possible for one

side and the worst for the opposing viewpoint by carefully using only those facts that support his or her side of the argument. In other words, the advertiser “stacks the cards” against the truth.

Smart people drink Tolak Angin!

Example:

Bandwagon

• Used to persuade the audience to follow the crowd. This device creates the impression of “everyone is doing it” or “everyone has this product.” It reinforces the human desire to be on the winning side or to be part of the “in-crowd.” It also plays on feelings of loneliness and isolation - if they don't join in they will be left out.
