Kids don't need motivation to want pizza. It's a natural favorite straight from birth. But how do you differentiate yourself as a pizza place to children among your dozens of competitors? If you're not Chuck E. Cheese and don't have 100s of video games and ball pits at your disposal, what can you do to make kiddies want to come to you?
Make your pizza blue.
10 cents in organic food coloring. Add it to the dough. Make the dough look like hot-blue play dough, but taste the exact same. Hot blue dough, white cheese, red pepperoni. Still color-coordinates. Still looks good.
All things being equal, if you're a kid, wouldn't you want the blue pizza?
This is not a life update. This is a place where people are free to think.

How long did purple ketchup last?
I was waiting for that point. It's a similar strategy, but not identical.
Ketchup was already a cool color. Bright red is fun.
Pizza crust is pale, brown and dull. Blue plusses it up.
So, in your opinion would ketchup have less appeal if it were brown/white/some other unexciting color?
it's easier to think of the example with a new product than with a stapel like ketchup.
it's why every soda has coloring in it.
I've never spent so much time thinking about ketchup, but now you've got me wondering why it is so popular among children...
sweet + salty. it's the gateway food to finer foods.
How many times have you voted for a new Mountain Dew flavor?
i tried all 3 of the new flavors. none were great enough to inspire a vote......i mean, i don't know what you're talking about.
i think blue is considered the most unappetizing color
but when you were a kid, you probably wanted to eat your blue play-dough.
My kids would have eaten out of the litter box if it came with a jingle and a clown. Come to think of it, one probably still would.
