CARD STACKING
THIS PIZZA HUT AD IS AN EXAMPLE OF
CARD STACKING
This Pizza Hut advertisement is an example of card stacking. Card stacking is a propaganda technique where misleading or unproved statistics are used to convince the audience to believe a fact. This advertisement states that the pizza gives “50% more” with “free 50% more meat” and “free 50% more cheese”. However, the statistics are not possible to verify. There is no way that the customers will identify if the pizza had 50% more cheese or meat. Therefore, the advertisement is card stacking, as it uses misleading or unprovable statistics to advertise its product. |
