Corporations have become very sneaky and manipulative these days. They have found that the greatest form of advertisement is to advertise to the younger generations, knowing that they don't typically know right from wrong. They are sneaky in such a way that they make advertisements that appeal and draw attention to young children. Whether it be pictures, music, or cartoons corporations have found a way to manipulate their buyers. What parent wouldn't give in to their crying child in the middle of Wal-Mart whom wants the Sponge Bob macaroni and cheese as to the regular "Great Value" macaroni and cheese. Looking at the ingredients between the Kraft's Sponge Bob macaroni and cheese and the Great Value brand I see no difference. Yet, the parents are willing to pay as much as $1.50 more to please their screaming child. If the corporation has the child sold then in most cases the parents are sold as well. With that being said, as long as corporations continue to advertise in such a way they will be successful in their business. Parents, on the other hand, need to realize exactly what it is they're paying for. Is it for the value in the product or the advertisement in the product? On the other hand, how much extra money are corporations spending on their advertisement to draw attention to these little rugrats? Is it really worth their time and money? Once I think about it, I am sure that it is. Knowing my younger nephews they will not settle for anything less than Kraft’s Sponge Bob macaroni and cheese. In my opinion, mac-n-cheese is mac-n-cheese.. Period!
