Almost all research on the effects of product placements on children has focused on brand attitudes or behavioral intentions. Drawing on the
important difference between attitudes or behavioral intentions on the one hand and actual behavior on the other, this paper tests the effects
of brand placements on children’s food consumption. Children from 6 to 14 years old were exposed to an excerpt of the popular movie Alvin
and the Chipmunks, including placements for the product Cheese Balls. Three versions were created: one without placements, one with moderate
placement frequency, and one with high placement frequency. Results showed that exposure to high-frequency product placements exerted a
significant effect on snack consumption, but no effect on brand or product attitudes. These effects were independent of children’s ages. The find-
ings are of great importance to consumer behavior scholars, nutrition experts, and policy regulators
