What Parents Need to Know

About Ben & Jerry's Halloween Fun Stuff

Parents need to know that other than some spooky music, there's nothing here to scare kids of any age. Being a Ben & Jerry's site, it does have logos for the company on every page and a link to their online store.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how logos and brand names influence us. You'll probably be craving some Chunky Monkey a few clicks into a site that was supposedly about Halloween. How can the power of suggestion and familiar images influence your eating and buying habits? When is it appropriate to mix fun cartoons and games and not-so-good-for-you food? When is it not OK?
