Spotted this when I was shopping a couple of days ago. Yes, the grocery store has a “toys” aisle. No, I don’t know why either. (Something to keep the kiddies out of Mom’s hair while she shops, perhaps?)
Anyway, take a look at the advertising copy on this toy. Liteup Wheel Lights Up!
…err, as opposed to doing something else, for example. Like, I dunno, invading France.
A liteup wheel that lights up. What ever will they think of next? Tautological cat is tautological.
Now I’m envisioning Frenchmen lighting up their cigarettes, sipping wine and asking “What ees thees?”

they put toys in grocery stores so that kids will push to get a toy.
Yup. It’s not done for the benefit of the parents. Parents would like to buy groceries without having their children begging for toys from the toy aisle.
whenever I go into any store — even a car mechanic — I tell my son that I’m not buying him ANYTHING, unless I’m actually planning on getting him something. No more impulse buying of cheap plastic crap.
At least for him.

It’s a ruse. Lite-Up Wheel actually invades France.

LoL I love your icon. 🙂
And yes this is totally idiotic – but remember, this is made for 3 year olds. Brains the size of walnuts. Those are the kids that the teletubbies were made for. It’s ALL made of stupid. 😀

I want a light-up wheel that invades France.
Clearly, I will have to invent this.

Just to spite you, I’m building a wheel that both lights up *and* invades France!
The basic design is trivial, and can be assembled in an evening using parts around the house (well, around my house anyway). However, getting it to light up and invade France simultaneously is proving to be non-trivial…
