Wii are #1.... and DS is #2!
« on: October 10, 2009, 12:13:51 AM »
Kids find Nintendo yummier than Oreos, M&Ms

Quote
Kids may gobble up junk food, but it seems they love playing with Nintendo devices even more.

Out of the 100 most loved brands for America's children and tweens, the Nintendo Wii and DS scored the first and second spots, according to a report by research firm Smarty Pants.

The survey "Young Love" found that even tempting snacks like Oreos and M&Ms trailed behind the Nintendo gear, taking the third and fifth spots in the list, respectively. Other techie items loved by 6- to 12-year-olds included the iPod at number 12, Sony's Playstation at 14, YouTube at 36, and Microsoft's Xbox at 42.

Kids participate in more than $500 billion in consumer spending each year, according to Smarty Pants, and their parents consider their favorites when buying everything from snacks to entertainment, both of which popped up heavily on the list.

"From Crayola to iPod, kids' most loved brands are familiar, iconic brands that delight kids and parents with variety, value, family-friendly content, and simple pleasures," Smarty Pants President Wynne Tyree said in a statement. "Interestingly, the top brands are not traditional 'for kids only' brands; in fact, many are not marketed directly to kids."

To compile the report, Smarty Pants questioned 4,700 American kids and their parents online over a period of nine months. Covered in the survey were more than 260 consumer brands across 20 different product categories.

The brands that kids liked most, said SmartyPants, were the ones that offered high-quality family time, age-appropriate content, parent-approved indulgence, variety/choice, "cool" accessibility, and chatter-worthy advertising.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

No wonder DS has such high sales, kids have to convince their parents to buy more after they finish eating them..

I thought we settled in 103 that Jonny was the one buying all the DSs.   ;)

Seriously, though, what a list of crap.  It inspires all sorts of hope for a slimmer America.

I would have assumed DS would have beat the Wii actually.

This list makes me seriously hungry.  I dig all the food on that list... except Lunchables.  Only kids would be stupid enough to like that crap.

And only kids are stupid enough to regard Disney and Disney Channel as different brands.  And isn't Nick.com the website for Nickelodeon?

Well here in Canada it's called Kraft Dinner so it might taste different.  It is also a major part of Canadian culture and is referenced in the Barenaked Ladies' classic song "If I Had $1,000,000".

I said WTF to powdered milk and powdered eggs.

But that's how McDonalds and other eateries operate.

Fine dining.

Powdered (ergo dehydrated) milk is just fine when it comes to making tea, but that's the limit.
