I agree. I call this the infantilization of America.
It is happening everywhere. For example, there was no such thing as a "Gourmet Cupcake" until 2005. Prior to that, cupcakes existed as a confection for very young children to eat with their hands. Older children and adults ate with a fork.
Starbucks coffee cups and lids look indistinguishable from "sippy cups" we give to toddlers.
It will only get worse with the Millennials, who grew up on chicken nuggets and pizza rolls. I can't wait to see the gourmet chicken nuggets on the menu of five-star restaurants. I do think I can start a charm school to teach millennials in sales how to eat with a knife and fork so they don't look like a rube at a business dinner with a 60-year old executive.
