Rebecca Brownsword Believe it or not

Rebecca Brownsword Believe it or not
  1. “Red bull gives you wings” 
  2. Premise: If I drink Red bull I will get wings
       Minor- I drank red bull
       Conclusionion: Therefore I will get wings.
3.



4.This argument is valid but not true. The premise leads to the conclusion but it is not true that if you drink red bull that you will actually get wings. 
5. If a person drinks red bull then they will grow wings

6a. Just because this is a tautology does not mean it works in real life. People do not grow wings
c. Truth tables don't always tell the truth
7. It doesn't apply because red bull cant actually give you wings.
8.This is fallacy because it is not true.
9. This experiment helped how I look at the media because it tells me that people will say just about anything to make a product seem appealing

  3. I like your media choice! Everyone knows red bull so its cool to relate to it kind of. #9 is so true, the media really goes a long way to make people want to buy their product.

    Also, I don't know if you knew this, but a man sued Red Bull a year or two ago because he said their drink didn't give him wings!
