Bug Racer: The toy car driven by... bugs.

WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

So has anyone else ordered 3 of them? I may have been caught up in a wave of impulse and wonderment. I wonder how long it takes before PETI takes down the whole damned Mattel operation.

Do the bugs get seatbelts? If not, look out for cops. Cricket or ticket, as they say.

I don’t see this ending well for either the bugs or the company.

I think most people will find it easier to obtain roaches…

Crickets are easily available to buy at pet stores, as food for insectivore pets.

I can’t imagine this is a good idea. The car seems just weird, and I forsee grumpy parents attempting to track down that one loose cricket that chirps all night…

Let’s say your kid is growing up without showing any signs of the cruelty to animals, lack of empathy, and callous disregard for life necessary to make it as a serial killer or corporate CEO. What is a concerned parent to do?

Get the little tyke a Bug Racer.

Hey, at least those toy cars aren’t powered by bugs!

I’m trying to think of a worse toy idea, and it’s tough. Perhaps Mainway Toys Bag O Glass is worse, but it’s close.

And for this reason, I think I’ll get one for each of my nieces and nephews! :smiley:

You kids and your new-fangled criketmobiles…

Back in the day, we made do with toy drums for the little tykes - and they LOVED it!
(the parents - not so much :smiley: *
