The meme illustrates the great fallacy of the “vitamins in Frutiño” by showing how many people believed for years that this drink contained real nutrients, when in reality it is nothing more than a mix of sugar, colorants, and artificial flavorings.
In the meme, the character finds “the scroll of truth,” which reveals the uncomfortable fact: “Frutiño orange has no vitamins or minerals.” However, upon reading it, the character rejects it, shouting “DAM!” and throwing the truth away — showing how people already knew about this fallacy but still wasted years searching for a truth that was actually obvious.
In short, the meme represents the false health advertising fallacy, where a product is made to seem healthy only through its image or slogan, even though it doesn’t really have the benefits it promises.

 “9 out of 10 dentists recommend Colgate”

This meme shows us how people sometimes believe in what they see in advertisements. That is why the message “9 out of 10 dentists recommend Colgate” makes us think that this product is perfect or good but the meme reminds us that there is always another opinion.

Therefore, the “10th dentist” show the idea that people who think differently and we should think for ourselves before trusting advertisements and these types of adverts are an appeal to authority fallacy because they use the image of dentists professionals to persuade people to trust in the product but do not show real evidence about it.

This illustrates the Red Herring fallacy.

This brand "Red Bull" belongs to an energizing drinks company.

Nevertheless, their slogan and advertisements "Red Bull gives you wings" totally ignore the damage these drinks cause on the body.

These drinks are often presented as any product, aligned with young peoples interest, as doing sponsorships with well-known trending influencers or events, even though young audiences can be the most affected.

"The flavor and aroma that Colombia drinks"

# data[].attributes.body
This meme points out the irony behind Sello Rojo's slogan: “The aroma and flavor that Colombia drinks.” That phrase couldn’t be further from the truth. Everyone knows that this brand (along with others like Águila Roja and Colcafé) sends most of its good coffee abroad (around 93% of the bags), while what’s left for Colombians is the lowest quality. To make it “yield,” it’s usually mixed with pasilla or even with coffee imported from Ecuador and Peru, according to data from the National Federation of Coffee Growers.

Still, these brands hide behind flashy marketing, pretending to represent the country when it’s all just a lie. None of them have the official seal from the Federation, nor do they mention the exact farm or region their coffee comes from. The labels just say “Product of Colombia” or “Roasted in Colombia” , which, technically, is enough to call it “Colombian,” even if the coffee itself barely deserves the name.

The result? Coffee full of impurities, mycotoxins, and bad roasting or storage that has caused health problems in thousands of Colombians (from liver and kidney issues to everyday stomach pain and heartburn). And all of this while people still believe they’re drinking “true coffee.”

Maybe the only true thing about that slogan is that Colombians really have gotten used to drinking and smelling a bitter, burnt beverage that no one can handle without adding sugar.

This meme shows one of the most controversial urban myth around The Pony Malta and Bavaria company.

It all started around October 2015, when a whatsapp audio began to be spreaded on, stating that a horrible accident happened in one of the company plants. He said that a man had fallen into one of the storage tanks and tragically died, staying inside around two months. He warned people to not to drink the product as it could be altered and contaminated because of the dead body.

This is an Ad Populum fallacy, because as it was quickly spreaded on social media, it became an urban myth and people stopped buying the drink, specially parents. This because the drink was one of the most consumed by kids in their lunch boxes, as their slogan was "Champion's drink" , so obviously the parents would have been concerned about their children's health and well-being. Some people even stated that the drink tasted different or even bad and smelled horrid.

Also, an image was linked with the audio. It supposedly showed the roof of one of the Pony malta tanks were the body was, but it could be more wrong. The image belong to the Elisa Lam's case, which actually happened one year before the Pony Malta myth. The girl's body was actually found in one big tank on the roof of a building, the Cecil hotel, know because of its paranormal activity rumors.

This advertisement is from a UNICEF campaign that encourages people to donate money to help children who suffer from hunger and poverty. This illustrates the Appeal to Emotion fallacy because it focuses on making the audience feel guilt, sadness, and pity instead of providing logical evidence or detailed information about how donations are used or what specific programs help the children.

By using emotional manipulation, it encourages people to act based on feelings rather than facts.

In the meme, Drake rejects “Facts and real arguments about the campaign” and prefers “A sad video with dramatic music to make you donate.”

This shows how many donation campaigns focus on making the audience feel sad, guilty, or emotional, instead of explaining how the money is actually used.

The humor of the meme highlights how emotions often win over logic when people decide to donate.

This meme shows how makeup companies deceive us with their advertising. The root of the problem is that the models you see in ads never appear natural. Brands use a lot of special lighting, expert makeup artists, and, above all, intense digital editing. With the famous Photoshop, imperfections are erased, creating skin that doesn't exist in real life. This leads the brand to promise you that by buying a simple foundation, you'll look just as perfect as the retouched model.

The progression of texts in the meme shows how ridiculous these promises are. The phrases begin by suggesting a small benefit and end with huge exaggerations. In the end, the ad makes you believe you're making an "investment" in your own confidence, which is false. The product is just makeup; it can't change your life or buy you self-esteem. It's a way to manipulate your purchase by appealing to what you want, instead of informing you about what the product actually does.

This meme perfectly represents the False Cause fallacy, also known as Post hoc ergo propter hoc (after this, therefore because of this). The image suggests, through the girl's expression, that the act of eating the spicy taco at lunchtime directly caused the house fire seen in the background. Logically, we know that eating a taco does not cause a house to burn down. The argument makes the mistake of assuming that just because event B (the fire) happened after event A (eating the taco), then A must be the cause of B. There is no proven causal link, only a coincidence in time exaggerated for comedic effect.

This meme represents the Argument from Authority fallacy. The man believes the claim is true only because it comes from someone with supposed authority or education, not because there is real evidence. Just because someone has degrees or a title doesn’t mean everything they say is automatically true. The argument relies on authority rather than facts or logic.

This image is a satirical take on the famous Nike slogan “Just Do It,” illustrating the Appeal to Emotion logical fallacy. The visual depicts a determined athlete running through harsh rain, invoking feelings of perseverance and motivation. However, the phrase “Even if it makes no sense… Just Do It.” exposes the flaw in this type of reasoning: it encourages action based purely on emotion, without logical justification.

The message critiques how advertising often manipulates emotions to inspire consumer behavior rather than presenting rational arguments. Nike’s original campaign motivates people through emotional connection, but in this meme, that same emotional appeal is exaggerated to highlight how persuasive techniques can override critical thinking.

This meme is a clear example of what happens in Colombia, both Colombian brands and the government promote buying products that are made here by the hands of Colombian people in order to help trade and increase jobs, but the problem arises when one buys said product, and the label says "made in China" that does not make sense, since it is like stealing and deceiving people with false information about what these "Colombian" brands sell or promote, this happens in clothing and footwear

The meme shows how in Colombian politics and culture much of the people prefer to keep old habits or systems instead of trying new, more effective ideas. It illustrates the Appeal to Tradition Fallacy, which happens when something is considered right or good only because it has been done that way for a long time.

In the meme, Drake rejects “Trying new solutions or reforms” and approves “Keeping things the same because that’s how it’s always been done.” This represents how people often defend outdated practices without questioning if they truly work.

Therefore, this meme reminds us that not everything traditional is correct progress requires change and critical thinking instead of blind respect for tradition.

This meme mocks a super common way in which advertising tries to convince you:

They show you someone happy using a product and tell you, without saying it directly, that you should do the same to be just as happy.

At the top appears a man all smiling, enjoying the hamburger as if it were the most delicious thing in the world. That guy is representing the typical “look how happy I am thanks to this product,” as they do in commercials when they put people laughing exaggeratedly about anything.

But at the bottom appears another person who is not so convinced. He has the face of “Are you sure? Is that how it works?” And the text “YOU SHOULD EAT THEM TOO” makes the mockery more obvious:

Basically he tries to tell you that if it worked for him, for you too, without showing any real reason.

The meme mocks the fallacy of hasty generalization, which is when we take something that happened to a person and we assume that it will necessarily happen to everyone. Advertising does a lot of that:

• “It took away his pain, buy it too.”

• “Her hair shone, that’s why you should use it too.”

• “He’s happy eating this, then you’ll be happy too.”

And one is like:

“Calm down, I’m not him... and where is the evidence?”

The grace of the meme is that: to show how absurd it is to try to convince you just because someone else worked.
