I'm trying to figure out what house doesn't have chairs and sheets and brooms and other implements needed to build forts or teepees.....oh....one's without IMAGINATION but with OVERLY ORDERLY psycho-moms. 
Good thing they can buy one and further stunt their child's development. Hopefully every persnickety mom can find something to match the decor.
But how do you shake the television?!
Now I've seen everything. An Etch-a-Sketch for your TV.....
Words fail....
Ok, I admit the copy on this site is clever and it is ecologically sound (except for the shipping of course!) but this is pretty silly. BUYING a cardboard box for your kid to play in. Way to teach imagination, creativity, and self-sufficiency. 
There's a reason kids love boxes - they can be anything! It's a running gag in the comic Red and Rover with the kid making up new ways to use the box.
But that's what you got at FridgeBox! Even comes in the right shapes. Jeez.... I know I rail against stuff you don't need but at least get it free and local if you have to have it. Try www.freecycle.com or www.craigslist.com to find community near you - someone is always getting rid of boxes!
Why are kids fat? They eat ice cream but don't expend any calories turning the cone.....this is by far the most ridiculous reason for batteries.
"Takes a licking -- keeps ice cream from dripping! The Motorized Ice Cream Cone is a super-cool gadget that embodies summer fun (and a little bit of laziness). Simply load the removable dish with your favorite flavor of ice cream, push the button and the powerful motor turns your frozen treat while you sit back and enjoy. No more licking around the edges of a messy, dripping cone! Fun for kids of all ages. Requires two AA batteries"
Isn't getting dripped on by an ice cream cone part of the fun of summer?
Lazy kids are the most annoying. Here's something that rotates your marshmallows for you. Isn't the point of marshmallow toasting finding a stick, whittling it without cutting yourself, holding over fire, setting it on fire, having your dad tell you to put it over the coals instead, trying again, having the stick droop and you get ash on your marshmallow....? That's the way I remember it!
"Perfectly toasted marshmallows are only a push-button away with our automatic, hand-held rotisserie! This ingenious handy gadget features three revolving prongs so you can evenly cook three marshmallows at once over the heat source of your choice. So grab a bag, make your own s'mores or simply enjoy the gooey, sweet treats all by themselves -- yum! A fun finish for outdoor barbeques and a special treat over an indoor fire. Great for camping, too! A perfect gift for Dad and a must for anyone who loves outdoor entertaining. Takes 4 AA batteries. Measures 18-1/2" long."
My fires were always too big/hot for 18 inches to be far enough away to keep from getting burned.
