My friend Alex and I went to dollar general after school. We were looking for toys, and funny little trinkits to give are friends for wanza (Are made up holiday) and we came across these really disturbing dolls. They were called " Frutiy Playpals". If that isn’t wrong enough… The slogan for these dolls are :
" I smell soooo good"
This got me to thinking what other disturbing toys are out there in this big wide world. Does any one else know of a toy that sounded wrong, but was supposed to be innocent?
Sounds like the Teen Girl Squad from Strongbad: here.
I mean, I know it’s not, but…
HA. Well they didn’t look exactly like that but, the diolouge is prety right on…
At a Dollar Tree, I once purchased a taoy called (IIRC) a “Fuchi Lao.” It was a cheap plastic flashlight with a Barbie doll-type head in place of the lens assembly. When switched on, the doll head glowed from within. Really kind of disturbing, it was. The writing on the package was almost all in Chinese.
I know there were a lot in the 70s but all I can think of right now are “Fiddlesticks,” the felt-tipped pens. As I recall they had a somewhat risque slogan. Middle age must be setting in, since I can’t remember my own decade anymore.
