I couldn't agree more. Even as an adult, I struggle to discern the difference between what I need and what I "think" I want simply because I've been inundated with marketintg messages. I don't have kids, but I know that my neice will try to play me for a sucker by asking for a trip through the McDonald's drive thru as often as she can because Mom and Dad usually say NO. As for the Orthodontist, I think it's funny that Jack actually managed to make it all the way home with the water bottle, magnet, and a toothbrush. Maybe you should have suggested that the Orthodontist print his marketing materials on a retainer. Not unlike everyone who every wore braces, Jack surely would have lost that right away!
