Test – Expect the Unexpected"
Introduction
The food industry is witnessing a paradigm shift, with plant-based alternatives
gaining traction among consumers who are increasingly conscious of their health,
environmental impact, and ethical considerations. Despite the rise of vegan and
flexitarian lifestyles, skepticism persists about the taste and authenticity of mock
meat, particularly in India, where meat flavors are deeply ingrained in culinary
traditions.
The TVC, "The Great Blind Taste Test – Expect the Unexpected," aims to address
this skepticism and establish Product A as a premier plant-based mock meat brand
in the Indian market. By leveraging a surprise-driven format, the advertisement

Type of Appeal Used
The TVC employs a combination of sensory, testimonial, surprise, emotional,
rational, and ethical appeals to captivate its audience:
Sensory Appeal: A core strength of food advertising, sensory appeal plays a crucial
role in this TVC. Close-up visuals of the product’s texture, sizzling sound effects, and
the reactions of participants enhance the perception of taste and authenticity. The
detailed focus on juiciness and mouthfeel reassures viewers that the product can
genuinely replicate the experience of eating meat. The crisp bite sound and facial
expressions of enjoyment further elevate the sensory experience.

by featuring individuals with varied dietary preferences, from ardent meat lovers to
vegetarians. Their spontaneous and enthusiastic responses lend credibility to the
product’s taste claims. By associating the mock meat with well-known flavors, such
as Old Delhi street food and KFC, the advertisement strengthens consumer
confidence in its authenticity. Testimonials act as social proof, reinforcing that the
product is widely accepted and appreciated.
Surprise Appeal: The blind taste test format fuels intrigue and engagement, leading
to an impactful reveal. The astonishment of non-vegetarians upon realizing they
are eating a plant-based product reinforces its legitimacy, while vegetarians
appreciate that it doesn’t taste overwhelmingly like meat. This unexpected twist
makes the TVC memorable and increases its shareability, enhancing its viral
potential on social media. The element of surprise also challenges pre-existing
biases, making the product more appealing to skeptical consumers.
Emotional Appeal: The advertisement subtly evokes excitement and curiosity,
driving an emotional connection with the audience. The expressions of delight
and disbelief create a feel-good moment, making viewers more receptive to the
product. Aryan’s mention of affordability and ethical consumption further
strengthens the moral appeal, encouraging consumers to consider sustainable food
choices. The ad taps into joy, amazement, and a sense of discovery, reinforcing
positive emotions linked to the brand.
Rational Appeal: The TVC appeals to logic and reason by emphasizing the nutritional
benefits of the product. The characters reference aspects like high protein content,
absence of artificial flavors, and health-consciousness. This appeal reassures fitness
enthusiasts and individuals seeking a balanced diet that they are making a smart
and beneficial choice.
Ethical Appeal: The advertisement subtly integrates ethical considerations by
highlighting sustainability and cruelty-free consumption. By positioning Product A as
an environmentally friendly and animal-friendly alternative, the TVC encourages
socially responsible choices. This appeal resonates strongly with individuals who
