Everybody remembers the Easy Bake Oven, but I had one of these! Anybody else?

My friends had an Incredible Edible. We also had one of these when I was a kid.

Tell Kris that is too funny.

I also had a Thingmaker. Hmmm, do you think my parents were trying to incinerate me?

Those old toys are so cool, hard to believe they could sell those. Today there'd be a recall of all of them! Amazing we all survived our childhoods isn't it.
