What Happens When You Let Kids Go Wild In ...
Leonora Epstein
1. In 1952, the Kroger Food Foundation wanted to see what would happen it gave kids ages 6-10 free reign of a grocery store. Would they rack up a huge bill? Go straight for the candy?

2. Most of them went for household staples like “produce” and “poultry” whatever those boring things are. This kid picked up some dog food. Why? He said, “I like dog food.”

3. The boys were slightly more extravagant than the girls. Taking inflation into account, the boys spent the equivalent of about $76 while the girls spent about $64.

“The boys were slightly more extravagant than the girls. Taking inflation into account, the boys spent the equivalent of about $64 while the girls spent about $76.” I think that’s backwards.

No, Kroeger is the Buzzfeed version of Kroger. You can see it’s Kroger in the second picture.
