Abstract
Since the licensed appearance of Mickey Mouse on a Post Toasties cereal box in
1925, the marketing of kids' foods has never been quite the same. This is
another pivotal time for kids' food and beverage licensing as marketing to
kids is under heavy fire from parents, consumer groups and the government,
spurred by concerns of rampant childhood obesity. However, controversy will
not stop the $746 million licensed kids' food and beverage market from
growing. In fact, this all-new Packaged Facts report looks at the tremendous
opportunities for licensees and licensors in the development of entirely new
food and beverage arenas, especially in healthy foods and drinks, such as
packaged fruits and vegetables or bottled water.
