on the mcdonalds study:
i remember reading that article and it said that 60% of the preschoolers picked the mcdonalds wrappers over the unmarked. unless thats wrong, thats not all that overwhelming. it’s not 50/50 but it’s close. i don’t know how they did the study or anything but if they just had white wrappers vs. mcdonalds wrappers, they could have picked it soley bc of the bright colors or something. if it was like 80/20 then thats a bit more overwhelming
but yeah they’re a brainwashing corporation. did they do a study of mcdonalds vs. burger king wrapped products?
