A poll of over five thousand consumers aged eight to twenty-four has found that Apple is the most popular electronic brand in America today.
Not that it’s in particularly flattering company. In fact, just looking at the companies kids today like, it seems as if most of our nation’s youth spend the majority of their time gorging themselves on junk food. Go figure!
Here are some other brands that also ranked highly in the poll:
• Sprite — Purveyors of translucent sugar water capable of melting pennies overnight.
• Oreo — A crumbly, frosting-filled cookie that makes your teeth look like a corpse’s just seconds after eating.
• Capri Sun — Ectoplasmic carotene glop served in a bag of tin foil.
In electronics, America’s youth seemed a bit more savvy. Nintendo ranked high in their favorite brands, and while Apple topped the computer, tablet and smartphone space, HP, the Motorola Xoom and HTC came second in each category.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, off to a lunch of Hot Pockets, Mountain Dew and Cheetos.
