> How the hell it's so addictive?

Because it's not just your daughter that gets hooked up on it, but also nearly every kid in her daycare/kindergarten, every other kid she sees on the playground, etc. With so much Paw Patrol-branded merchandise everywhere, the show is stuck in the "pit of success", a self-reinforcing popularity loop.

And that's on top of the show being heavily optimized for its audience.



Good point. I don't see much of that merch, but one day she asked me to buy paw patrol wet bag, next day she ask for paw patrol skateboard.

Maybe I should ask for it local giveaway groups.
