".....Each sample was divided into two portions: one wrapped in a McDonald's wrapper or placed in a McDonald's bag and the other in a wrapper without the McDonald's logo. After taste-testing, the children more often said the chicken nuggets, fries, carrots and milk wrapped in the McDonald's logo tasted better, even though the foods were exactly the same."

| I suspect Adults would test the same. We are attracted to name brands. Advertising works!  I think John Stossel did a study of generic stuff and found that the food products and medicine were often the same ingredients and tested just as good as the name brands. The stuff that tested as lesser quality were the paper products and cleaning products.

| This reminds me of soft drinks. Most people tend to like RC Cola the best, but when they know what they're drinking most people prefer Coke. | ||||

| I think it's just a name recognition thing. I bet if they recreated the test with regional franchises and had one be Waffle House (primarily in the South) and the other be something like White Castle (generally not found in the South... except FL), then you'd see a rift in choice in different parts of the nation. I think what this really proves is that kids watch too much TV. | ||||

| I doubt the results would be much different if adults were tested. | ||||

| I'm not sure it's a successful marketing ploy or if it's just kids though.. How many of you remember showing your parents how much faster you could run after getting a new pair of shoes that looked really cool? | ||||
