Scenario 10-1 During Tough Economic Times, Many Companies Rely on Memories of Memories

Scenario 10-1
During tough economic times, many companies rely on memories of "the good old days" to help advertise their products. Looking for a bit of a jumpstart, PepsiCo turned to nostalgia-heavy advertisements late in 2009, which then carried into 2010. The company introduced "throwback" versions of a number of its soft drinks, and created an ad campaign that included new logos and a series of commercials intended to generate feelings of happiness from prior decades. The company had hoped that any warm, fuzzy feelings about the past would make people feel better about the company's present and future.

A)  cause consumers to generate competing thoughts and connections. 
B)  cause consumers to recall bad memories from their childhood. 
C)  cause consumers to favor another brand over the one advertised. 
D)  cause consumers to think before they start feeling.
