I was standing in line at walmart today, and I noticed that this little girl behind me had some stuffed animals. I glanced at them and then did a double take. They were the oddest toys I've seen in a while (well, I guess I don't really see kids' toys all that much, but whatev). They were called Furry friends or something like that, and they were little stuffed squirrels and chipmunks that were realistic looking, and they came with a little baby bottle. They had things on the box like, "it comes alive! Feed it from the bottle!" with a picture of a kid bottlefeeding it.
I just thought it was a strangely ironic toy...on one hand, I can see it being an educational tool for kids, but on the other hand the whole concept of the toy seems problematic. Sometimes "life-like" toys like that give kids the impression that if they ever found wildlife young, its ok to just shove a bottle with some milk in its mouth. That's always the biggest problem when people find orphaned wildlife....they try and feed it all sorts of things they shouldn't....hopefully these bizarre toys don't give kids the wrong idea
