![]() After plenty of juggling around, the York Peppermint Pattie has remained with us. In 1972, the York Cone Company was acquired by Peter Paul Company who coined the slogan “Get the Sensation!” They later merged with Cadbury, but a decade later we saw Hershey at the York steering wheel, having just acquired Cadbury Schweppes. We’ve even seen them melted down and drizzled on top of fresh popcorn! The patties that failed to pass the clean snap test still had the classic taste so thankfully weren’t wasted! These extras remained at the Pine Street Plant, open to the public who were able to collect them and either eat them as they were, or use them to make other desserts like fudge and cookies as well as puddings and mousse. Bearing no resemblance, nor relation to Peanuts’ tomboy Peppermint Patty, most people refer to the perfect snap test necessary for a Peppermint Pattie to make it out of the factory, packaged for sale in confectionary stores. ![]() But we had to wait 20 years before they started making the crisp Peppermint Patties. In 1920, Henry Kessler decided to open the York Cone Company in, yep you guessed it, York, Pennsylvania. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, let’s take a look at where the cool dark chocolate confection came from. This commercial had a positive effect on me and after deciding to try York Peppermint Patties, I realized that are definitely as good as the commercial makes them out to be.The York Peppermint Pattie is said to be the most sensational bite on Earth. Based on the way she acted, I got the feeling that York Peppermint Patties are very good. Lastly, the narrator's voice has a certain tone to it that brings everything together. Another aspect from the commercial that sparked emotion from me was the girl's facial expressions. Also, the wind noises make me feel like the patties are cool and fresh. When I hear the peppermint pattie breaking, the sound it makes is refreshing to me. All of the different sounds spark an emotional response from me. I think that this commercial uses pathos to gets its point across. Because the zoom-in of the girl's eye can be seen when she takes a bite of the pattie, my attention is brought back to the chocolate as I wonder if it is truly as good as her reaction is making it out ot be. Also, she is not wearing any make-up so there is a certain natural beauty about her. Because they are so blue, they are very luring and attract a lot of attention to her. Personally, I think the eyes are the best example of this appeal because they bring a lot of attention to her. Whenever the girl takes a bite of the pattie, it zooms in on some part of her face whether it be her teeth, hair, or eyes. The appeal that I think is most evident in this commercial is the need for attention. One of the things that I believe this commercial does very well is the way in which they potray the appeals. Also, the facial expressions of the girl after eating the pattie makes me feel like it would be very delicious (which they are!). ![]() Whether it is the sound of the pattie breaking, the wind noises in the background, or the narrator's voice, something about them just makes me really drawn to the commercial. One of my favorite elements about this commercial are all of the different sounds. The York Peppermint Pattie commercial has always been one of my favorites.
