Oh wow! Bet that left some major scars. I had one of these babies: http://www.samstoybox.com/toys/IncredibleEdibles.html Nothing says child's plaything like hot metal and molten sugar. Mary |

My friends had an Incredible Edible. We also had one of these when I was a kid. http://www.samstoybox.com/toys/Thingmaker.html |

Tell Kris that is too funny. I also had a Thingmaker. Hmmm, do you think my parents were trying to incinerate me? Mary |

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. |
