When reading the article I noticed that 55% of dolls and 40% of all toys were made in China in 1990. I wonder what those numbers are today and what does "Made in China" mean to kids when they see it on the bottom of all of their toys. Do they realize those toys were most likely made by kids their age?
I found the section on deseasonalization very interesting. When I was young it was such a big deal whenever Christmas or my birthday came around because it meant new toys. Now it seems with advertising that those occasions don't mean so much because the ads are showing kids that they can get toys any time they want. I was shocked that toys were the number one market, but I guess it makes sense.
