Cultural and ethical values in the 1971 Chef Boy-ar-dee Ravioli ad
The Chef Boy-ar-dee Ravioli ad shows a freckled boy smiling while eating ravioli with the purpose of emphasizing the enjoyment coming along with consuming the company's product. The fact that the commercial is focused on the idea of a young person considering ravioli as being a "fun food, fresh food, celebration food" instantly captivates viewers. However, the ad is apparently meant to put across a more complex message -- one being meant to have consumers understand that there is also an important nutritional aspect with regard to this product.
Children are typically known as being especially selective when it comes to food and seeing a playful boy being actually happy to eat the Boy-ar-dee ravioli influences viewers to consider that this product is the secret to making kids happy to eat everything in their plate. The text also plays an important role in getting parents to choose this product with the purpose of having their children go through a more enjoyable experience while eating healthy products. Ideas like "You don't get it with soups and sandwiches" and "Found in Mom's Basement" further contribute to sending the message that this product is particularly healthy and that it is probable to leave children with a different experience from the ones they are accustomed with while being asked to eat healthy foods.
To a certain degree, it is likely that the ad's makers chose a striped shirt for the child to wear as a means to put across the idea that the product they were promoting was characteristic to Italy in general. With the gondoliers in Venice wearing a similar T-shirt, one might be inclined to believe that the food is directly connected with the Italian culture.
