Consumer toys and brands Bosch, Braun, Miele ..




by Christophe » 17/10/08, 11:32

Ayé we just remember 1ere Christmas advertising ...

Last year it had already surprised me and I had left but this year is enough: I am shocked!

Shocked not by the Chinese plastic shits which constitute 80% (more?) Current toys because we are used to it ... I am shocked to see the presence of real BRANDS on toys: braun, vileda, ford, bosch, honey ...

So we condition from a very young age our kids to consume these brands ... Worse parents pay to conditonner their kids to advertising, hype!

But even worse: we offer vileda "cleaning kits" (not far from the price of the original object) to the little girls (like that your vocation is all mapped out !!), the microwave oven (compulsory !!) or the American fridge (which gives real water, yes Ladies !!) ... but nothing reaches the supreme bullshit of the Smoby cash register at € 54,95 ... Just if not shown by the Logo LECLERC OR CARREFOUR above ...

In my day it did not exist and I think we need a kind of law that frames this:
a) prohibition of real brands except on advertising products therefore free (and more ...)
b) legal framework of toys encouraging consumption


So Ken Durex for the kids of 5 years when is it? What does it shock you ladies? However, it is not so different that to offer a fake braun mixer in principle!

I will try to find some pictures ... Otherwise I will scan the folder!

what you are raising is in the direct line of the consumer society: all these brands remain in this optics + 10% growth per year so as to attract potential consumers as possible: and the moral in all this: it s' stamp the shells : Evil:

So here are some illustrations:

a) the vileda housewife kit

b) the chainsaw bosch
Image

c) the "unilever pack" cash register (skip, knorr ...)
Image

d) the full cash register on the same principle as c) full of "real" products but additionally adds the "vocation":

What is she happy to be a cashier !! Welcome to a world of CONSommation my little!

All this makes me happy Image

Exactly ... but the most cons in history are still parents who buy these shits! Because a product that does not sell does not survive... But the checkout last year I left past because I thought it was an "error in judgment" on the part of smoby ... but since it is still offered it means that it was bought ... : Shock:

Parents who do not agree with the term "idiots" can freely justify themselves below.

You have a thousand times right to throw a jab. The only thing to do, do not buy some ... and explain why to your kids.

I especially think that this "branding" seduced also the parents!
It makes them smile to see that their kids are going to have the same tools as daddy.

=> it's the double bonus
- parents buy the toys because there is the brand
- children will buy real ones because they will know the brand

I do not think many cashiers are seduced and wish their children the same job ...

But maybe I'm a bit naive?

you forget the Fercusonne Masser tractor or the blue mini working like dad.

I do not see too much what shocks me, I still dream as when I was small. The only problem is the waste of this plastugy.

Cash registers but in wood.
