Taco Bell saves the elderly

 “Viva Young!” This was Taco Bell’s recent battle cry from this years’ Super Bowl.  From the start, we are witness to a group of grand-momma’s n’ poppa’s sneaking out of their old folk’s home for a night of partying and debauchery. All the while, a Spanish rendition of the song “We are young” plays in the background. When the shenanigans are over, the group moseys on over to a Taco Bell where they chow down in the parking lot before returning to their normal routine.

No actual information or logic was used in this ad instead the viewer was treated to un-realistic (albeit humorous) representations of senior citizen partiers. Viewers are lead to believe that they should eat at Taco Bell, not because they like it, but because that is what “young” people do! Taco Bell reminds us that if you just eat some tacos, pull some pranks, and get inked, then age is only a number! Nevermind the fact that behaviors like these may have an opposite effect with regards to attaining old age…
