How sad is this:
Lovin' it: McBranding hooks preschoolers, study finds - Yahoo! News
When given five different pairs of food (burgers, fries, baby carrots, milk, etc.) in plain and McD's wrappers, the majority of kids felt that the stuff in the McD's wrapper tasted better (even milk and carrots)! Aside from the health implications of this, there is the issue of kids as young as three to five getting brainwashed by marketing and branding. Somehow I don't think these kids will be posting on this board forty years from now if they are that susceptible to marketing and buying "name brands"!
