What is it?Advergaming.


      Advergames are filled with animations that kids absolutely love and they seem relatively harmless. However, parents have begun to realize that these games are created to convince children to buy and ask for certain products. There are currently a number of advergames that promote unhealthy foods and beverages to children such as sugary cereals like Froot Loops and Lucky Charms as well as caffeinated sodas like Dr. Depper and Mountain Dew. While these games are fun and engaging for kids they have also fueled a larger issue in regards to children’s physical health.
