A sad day for us all. I still have the scars.

My favorite childhood gift. Oh those tiny little chocolate cakes!

Well really, with the soaring sales of the GE Energy Smart spirals, was there really any hope? :roll:

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

Nothing says child's plaything like hot metal and molten sugar.

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

All,

Quoth Kris "Mr. Howes was partially cremated, in accordance with the instructions in his will." :twisted:

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.
