Kraft introduces "Salad Frosting" for kids

Kraft introduces 'salad frosting' for kids


Kraft has launched “Salad Frosting” as part of a jokey marketing campaign about the lies that parents tell their kids. Because, y’know, deceit is funny and those kids who already like ranch dressing will be too dumb to recognize that this is the same thing while those who can’t stand the stuff will suddenly develop a taste for it because of the “fun” packaging. From the press release:


“Innocent lies parents tell their kids help alleviate the pressures of everyday parenting, and if it gets kids to eat their greens, so be it,” says Sergio Eleuterio Head of Marketing for Kraft, “Simple innocent lies are not only part of parenthood, but a true tactic used by parents everywhere. Kraft Salad ‘Frosting’ is one lie you won’t feel bad telling your kids.”


According to a recent study, Ranch dressing is the most popular dressing in the United States*** and kids will eat anything with frosting, right? It’s a match made for dinnertime bliss. Now, convincing children to eat salad, broccoli and carrots may be a whole lot easier. Just add Kraft Salad “Frosting.”
