The Right Choice This deconstructive analysis is based on a GEICO ad from within a GQ magazine. Beneath a cookie based bar graph, bold letters spell out, “The choice is yours, and it’s simple.” The ad labels a tall stack of cookies “GIECO”, and a shorter, singular cookie as “The other guy.” While this rather blunt marketing technique seems self explanatory at first glimpse, deep consideration makes it feel like the choice isn't mine; and that now there’s no longer anything simple about this situation
