I remember loving these as a kid and last winter, I bought a box so my daughter could try one and they were absolutely garbage. I know a lot of manufacturers are changing the recipes constantly trying to keep costs low, but these don't even taste like food anymore.

Same experience with KFC.

I would have killed people for it in the 70's/80's. Now it's utter trash.

These ones are just kid versions of adult things, which is a genre of toy that's existed forever. Lawnmowers, vacuum cleaners, phones, etc.

This one, I assume, is actually a joke for adults?

These are the bad ones. These are the ones for parents who desperately need their children to love all the same pop culture they do.

Oh I realize, there's just something uncomfortable with the things your kids want to emulate being "sitting on the couch playing videogames / streaming stuff"

Tiggum posted:

It absolutely is not, there's a ton of other funko pop golden books, and a bunch of 5-star reviews saying things like "I read it to the kindergarten class I teach!"

There's so many more too, I had to stop when I found the funko pop section because it just made me sad

this genre of toys is actually very useful for that age. toddlers generally want to do the thing you’re doing and are easily redirected so if they ever see you use a controller or remote control then they can safely bang away on these things and pretend

they’re kinda also jokes for adults. there’s a lot of “children’s books” that are basically gag gifts for parents or for posing for pictures.

for example my dad is an astrophysicist and got my daughter a book called “astrophysics for babies”.

though in that case she actually really likes the page with the periodic table. she just points at numbers and letters and says the letter/digit aloud. for some reason she normally starts with and is really excited about U :shrug:

Do you have an air fryer? I found a great copycat recipe for old school KFC coating that is so good I eat it twice a month. For some reason cut up chickens are also pretty cheap, so it makes for an affordable and easy meal, too.

I remember a while ago I was reading the wiki page for Esperanto and it mentioning some people trying to make Esperanto their kids' first languages and thinking both "christ" and also "someone's definitely done that with Klingon right"

Wikipedia posted:

One Klingon speaker, d'Armond Speers, raised his son Alec to speak Klingon as a first language, whilst the boy's mother communicated with him in English. Alec rarely responded to his father in Klingon, although when he did, his pronunciation was "excellent". After Alec's fifth birthday, Speers reported that his son eventually stopped responding to him when spoken to in Klingon as he clearly did not enjoy it, so Speers switched to English.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
