Yesterday we saw a commercial for Fruit Loops Cereal in which they were advertising the fact that they now put 3 grams of fiber into the cereal (per serving? per box? I don't know). Like suddenly that's supposed to make the cereal healthy. I'm kind of a stickler on giving my kids a healthy breakfast (I call the sweetened kids' cereals "candy cereal", rarely buy it, and when I do, the kids get it for dessert, not for breakfast).
Anyway, Sage says to me "Mom, Fruit Loops has fiber in it! You should buy it!"
I said "Yeah, that's exactly what they want you to say!"
To the makers of Fruit Loops I say, congratulations, you've managed to manipulate my 4 year old daughter.
Just thought that was funny.
she's sooo freaking cute! guess that's what we get for educating them eh?
ReplyDeletehahaha. that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteoh, wow.
ReplyDeletei really don't like to have my kids watch cartoons, because of the commercials! i hate it when they tell me we should buy something for this or that reason. because they saw it on a commercial! ahhhh!
i haven't been on-line much lately. i just caught up with reading your blog. isn't it awesome when kiddos start doing more of their own stuff - like making sandwiches!!!! yay! :)
hugs to you, my friend!
