We need this magazine to make a come back. I remember it was basically “Consumer Reports” for kids, but it had articles in it that taught kids to be critical of businesses practices such as calling out “new and improved” language on products and to think through how you’re being sold to.

I read these magazines as a kid in the late 90s. I loved them. Every magazine exposed the manipulative psychological tactics that advertisers use on the public. It taught me basic skepticism at a young age.

Another one I remember is the science of sales racks and locations in the store. Where they place things to entice people to come in and then stay.
