"Brand Conscious"

“Anything made by McDonald's tastes better, preschoolers said in a study that demonstrates how advertising can trick the taste buds of young children.”

When Tabitha was pregnant with Erik – we used to talk about how we would raise Erik – and what would be would do and what would not be right when we were raising Erik. One of the things we bought up during our discussions was fast food and how we would avoid it. (Especially the fact of how unhealthy daddy was) but sadly one of the fast foods though I don’t consider it being as bad as say “pork rinds” (PS: we do not feed Erik stuff like that).

Erik loves and I mean “LOVES” Jamba Juice. He learnt to use his sippy cup/straw because of Jamba Juice and Daddy only gets him the All Fruit Smoothie (Peach Perfection, Strawberry Whirl, and Pomegranate Passion) So much that when Mommy said it’s too expensive to drink Jamba Juice say more than 4 times a week that when Daddy makes him Jamba Juice (with Jamba Recipe as close as he can get) – he doesn’t want it and looks for the nice cool Jamba Juice symbol – so each time Daddy gets to do a Jamba run – he begs for extra tiny Jamba cups (8 oz) I cant believe that our little guy is already brand conscious. He loves running his finger on the cup and say "Nanana" for Banana.

*Update - Both Mommy and Erik loved my version of the Jamba Stawberry Whirl
