It’s that time of year again: happy happy fun time! Check out these weird toys / gifts that are bound to make every child say “huh?” before shrugging and playing as usual. Here are our favorites, in no particular order:
1. Playmobil Security Checkpoint
Playmobil always had cool toys and is keeping up with the latest trend by offering its own airport security checkpoint. Yo, frequent flyer: you forgot to remove your yellow jacket/sweater before passing through security. Time for a groping patdown! I wonder if this set comes complete with grumpy people, fluids of more than one ounce (that’s a no-no!) and overzealous TSA agents.
Everyone loves a pickle. Not everyone loves yodeling, but those that do are probably fanatical enough about it to make up for the rest of us. So why not combine these two awesome things into a new, even more awesome thing? Pickle power!
So, your little loved one has been bugging you to get a cat or some other lifeform as a pet. You aren’t sure if they can handle it, so what should you do? An inflatable cat is a perfect solution! If the kid can manage to get the cat out of the can, inflate it and have it last a few weeks without popping it, then maybe a real cat is in order. If the inflatable cat doesn’t make it even a day, well, it’s going to be some time before little Luciferious is ready for a real animal. Give thanks that you didn’t give a real pet this season.
A recent article in Mental Floss magazine states that the best selling car in America (for 2008. anyway) is the Little Tykes Cozy Coupe, selling 457,000 units, or about 20,000 more than America’s next-best-selling vehicle, the Toyota Camry. The cozy coupe is the vehicle of funny video fame — numerous vids of adults getting stuck in them, kids rolling them over, you name it.
