Study: If You Want Them To Eat It, You Better Put Elmo On It

Anna North — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 12:40:00 EDT

Given the choice between chocolate and broccoli, kids overwhelmingly favor chocolate. But slap an Elmo sticker on the broccoli, and it's just as popular as candy. So if you put Oscar the Grouch on it, will they eat garbage? [Economist] More »
