I’m a 1969 baby. The toy catalogues we looked at as children def took a turn for the worse in the 80s. The whole pink & blue division came about then. Sell double the toys if ppl have a daughter & a son. Brutal

The biggest dunk on Easy Bake Ovens was just "Why spend all this money on a tiny fake oven, if you want your kid to learn to cook have them help out in the kitchen for real"

But of course that sucks because then your parents are aware of how many cookies you make and can prevent you from going on to eat them all yourself

Now I'm just thinking of the Family Guy bit with a shaking, sweating Cookie Monster crouched in a bathroom stall desperately holding a cigarette lighter to a spoonful of cookie dough
