Thank you for tuning in! On today's show, we are taking a look back at some questionable toys, primarily from the 1980s and 1990s, with a special addition from the 1950s. All of them have one bizarre characteristic in common - they all wet themselves. I was equal parts fascinated and horrified to learn and re-learn about some of these toys, including, but not limited to, Betsy Wetsey, Puppy Surprise, and more!

Here are a few websites that I referenced in today's show:

  • Weirdo Toys/Gross Out Gang, more info here.
  • Word hippo synonyms, check it out here.
  • LA Times article about ‘My Bundle Baby’ can be found here.

I also forgot to mention this in the show, but back in the early days of the podcast, I did an episode on My Little Pony.
