Focus groups with kids are so much better than ones with adults. I'm pretty sure they'll say just about anything. And they can be a bit evil. We just had a group of boys going around, introducing themselves. One of the kids had on a bunch of those plastic braclets, like the Livestrong ones or whatever other cause. He had on 5 or 6. And so he was talking about what those were all for, and the kid across the table looks right at him and says, "Those braclets are so on the way out." It was just mean. But funny... So in this discussion there was also a kid who was a bit larger than the other bean poles in the group. We were asking them to rate ideas on a scale of love it, it's OK, or don't like it at all. The, um, huskier boy kept rating everything love it. After he had like 7 love its in a row, the kid next to him said "You just eat everything, don't you?" I don't know that he actually meant it to be mean, but it kind of came out that way. And again, rather funny... Too bad adults like think before they speak (usually). Things would be much more interesting if we just spit out whatever we were really thinking.
