Every year, toymakers gather in New York City to showcase their latest wares. Sure, yes, many are quite spiffy. But there’s always a few items that make me frankly afraid to walk into a Toys ‘R Us.
Take, for instance, some of the toys featured on Bloomberg’s list of the weirdest things they found at the fair. Your shopping options for Christmas 2015 will include the latest “Baby Alive” model, “Snackin Sara.” She tells you when she’s hungry; you feed her; she shits the snacks out; you feed her the snacks again when she demands them. I know baby dolls with bodily functions have been around for decades, but they just never get any less WTF—they only become higher tech. “Snackin Sara” will set you back $50. Also available: a board game called “Who Tooted?”
