Is it brainwashing?
Sue Palmer thinks so.
And, well, we didn’t have aisles in the store that looked like this when I was a girl. I guess the marketers have learned something since then. I don’t have girls, so I don’t know, but I’ve heard that it’s hard to find anything for girls that isn’t pink – legos, clothes, bikes, tools, furnishings, everything is pink. I guess girls get the message that this is the aisle they belong in. The one with the stripper pole toy.
