Rhetorical Strategies Used By Snickers To Buy One Candy Bar?

What would it take for you to choose to buy one candy bar instead of another? Would it be because you love the taste of only one certain candy bar? Maybe because one type can make a bad day slightly better? Would it because you are just hungry? Perhaps, would it be because you remember hearing or seeing a catchy commercial about a certain one?
