Marketing expert Nicole Ramirez suggests that renaming disliked foods can make them more appealing to children. In a viral LinkedIn post, she shares her own experiences with her picky toddler, Declan, who dislikes fish. By creatively rebranding food items as more appealing names, like referring to salmon as 'Beach Chicken,' Ramirez successfully encourages her son to eat. While she believes this method is clever, her approach has received mixed reactions, with some concerned about potential trust issues it may create in the future.
"My toddler hates fish but loves chicken. So last night, for dinner, I told him the salmon was 'Beach Chicken.' He cheered, 'Yay! Beach Chicken!' - and ate the whole thing."
"It's not lying; it's rebranding. Know your customer."
"We also do things like, 'This meal was sponsored by 'Paw Patrol.' It's all about finding creative ways to get your child on board with something."
"He will eventually know that was a lie and the outcome of that is: he'll lose trust or learn lying. The question is: can you live with one of those outcomes?"
