The advertising fallacy represented here is an over generalization. The generalization being made is that a consumers day relies on what they eat fir breakfast, and that Sugar Pop cereal is the only way to have a good day.

While many companies and members of debates use logical fallacies, they overall weaken ones argument. It is best to avoid all fallacies if at all possible.

I hope this helps! :)
