The Children’s Television Act of 1990 banned advertisers from making infomercials aimed at children under the age of twelve. Although, this has not stopped children from taking notice of infomercials targeted toward adults.

We were sitting in a fast food restaurant about to have breakfast. She was sitting with her legs tucked under her, swiveling the seat side to side with her lower body. “Ooh, I can feel the burn, ” she says. It became obvious rather quickly that she did not understand what “the burn” meant when she stated, “Yep, I feel the heartburn.”
