Supposedly, companies pay good money towards the people who invent kids toys. Whatever happened to hopscotch? Tag? Good ol' imagination?
But now, there's an endless array of different "learning tools". Yes, "educatory toys". Never saw that one coming.
And who was the genius who created toy food? I can see it now - a combover man in a stiff business suit, persuading a table of fully-grown grownups that making playdoh food related is a GOOD IDEA. Because that's what we want for little kids, toxic putty in the shape of icecream. Plastic fries? Great, why didn't we think of that earlier?!
And in the ads, the slogan "Fun to play with but not to eat"? What kid would be swayed not to put the toy in their mouth by that? "Fun to play with but if ingested causes vomiting and likely death" is more like it.
