The second is 'it'll blow your mind away', means 'You will be surprised by the size of the food in the advertisement'. The third is 'get fully charged', means 'The food offered in the advertisement will satisfy the reader.  The fourth is 'think outside the bucket', which means ordered food outside the menu package. The fifth is 'Happy hour' means 'there is a 20% discount, in a certain period or time of the advertisement'. The sixth is 'Sure is good to have around', which means a delicious meal to enjoy with close friends. The seventh is 'talking can wait', means Do not let the distractions while enjoying the food.
