[pictures please] What toys did you want as a kid but never get (to play with)?
2 days ago by cheese_greater to c/nostupidquestions
I always kinda wanted an EasyBakeOven (or QueasyBakeOven to get around the annoying gender stereotypes)
Also had the Baskin' Robbins Ice Cream maker but my stupid mother wouldnt let me use it for some reason. Like she made it seem like she needed to be involved for me to use it and she wouldnt make herself available for that -> defacto unusable by fiat
Im literaly struggling to figure out how (like, just mechanically/physically) you could burn yourself
I don't know about banned, they've been making easy bakes for over 60 years now.

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.
go to feed...

It's probably a good thing you didn't get the Easy Bake or any of its knockoffs/clones. The thing was banned shortly after release because kids kept burning themselves and their houses down.
My eight-year-old cousin had one. The first time she used it, she ended up with burns on her hands and had to go to the hospital. I don't know the circumstances of what happened, but knowing her mom, she probably wasn't being supervised when it happened, and, knowing my cousin (and eight-year-olds), she probably didn't read the instructions. So, the danger probably lies more in the concept than the execution.
