PINK ONES!! You can't convince me they weren't awesome. I BEGGED my dad to buy me them, and when he gave in we bought a full outfit with it (riding pants, shirt, the cloth-thing under the saddle, the whip). I went to riding lessons every week in this ensemble, and if it was in the laundry i had to use coördinating colors because otherwise my life would be over.
I wanted to be cool like the other kids in the books and in my lessons, but the true persuading happened in the store, when i saw it on the posters and model-doll thing.

everyone had instagram, and I sometimes felt left out of conversations because my friends would talk about something on instagram, but I didn't have it yet.

Not everyone had a computer yet but when a friend of mine got one I decided I really wanted one, more specifically the exactly same one as my friend's. I used very reasonable argument to why it would be good for me and the whole household to have a computer and why the one I liked was the best option and it worked.

I remember wanting to eat cheese strings when I was a kid, because the commercial was full with other kids eating it and enjoying it.

I remember everyone at school had them and being a kid I wanted to fit in hahaha. I persuaded my parents by telling them it was in fashion and that I wouldn't lose any of them.

Everyone in the neighborhood had a waveboard or ripstick, so I pointed out that everyone was going on trips together with the waveboards.

All of my friends had one, and I really wanted to have one, so I think I may have asked it over a thousand times and finally I got one for christmas.

One of my friends had a wii so me and my brother tried to convince our parents to buy one too, which eventually worked . Probably only because we continuously annoyed them until they gave in.

I remember all my friends getting one for birthdays or just as a gift from their parents. My parents did not want me to have one so I went to my grandma and in the end she bought one for me and my siblings, which my parents did not like at all

I remember persuading my parents to buy me packs of Pokemon cards by telling them that all my peers buy packs of Pokemon cards at the same store.

I remember little animals from the My Littlest Pet Shop being heavily advertised. I ended up having a whole collection of them, just like most girls in my grade. It was easy to persuade my parents to keep getting them for me because they were reasonably priced and heavily advertised everywhere. I loved the cute little animals and they gave me another common interest that I shared with my classmates.

A cell phone!! Everyone had a phone by the time I was in 6th grade. How I persuaded my parents was running off in San Fran (pretending to get lost), and I remember saying you should let me have a phone and this would not be happening. I do not recall any exact persuasive marketing strategies, I just remember wanting a cell phone so bad because everyone else had one.

When I was in primary school rainbow slinkies (see photo) were all the rage.

Everybody in my class had one.

I had to beg my parents to get one for me and I used the fact that everyone had a slinky as an argument.

My grandmother had one at her house but I wanted my OWN one.

I showed my mom I could play it and indirectly persuaded her.

Persuading in the first place by convincing my parents it was so nice. I used to do this a lot, praise things so get my parents to like it theirselves. Making them think it was their idea.

I was in the mall with my parents as a young child. I saw this beautiful rubix cube in a toy store, and expressed my desire to acquire this item. I remember my father was very understanding and wanted to buy it for me, but my mom was indignant that I would give it up like I had some other toys in the past, so she was against buying it. My father then somehow convinced my mom to go off somewhere and in the little time we had while she was busy he quickly bought it for me and told me not to show mom until we were in the car to go home.
