I always kinda wanted an EasyBakeOven (or QueasyBakeOven to get around the annoying gender stereotypes)

Also had the Baskin’ Robbins Ice Cream maker but my stupid mother wouldnt let me use it for some reason. Like she made it seem like she needed to be involved for me to use it and she wouldnt make herself available for that -> defacto unusable by fiat

    It’s probably a good thing you didn’t get the Easy Bake or any of its knockoffs/clones. The thing was banned shortly after release because kids kept burning themselves and their houses down.

    My eight-year-old cousin had one. The first time she used it, she ended up with burns on her hands and had to go to the hospital. I don’t know the circumstances of what happened, but knowing her mom, she probably wasn’t being supervised when it happened, and, knowing my cousin (and eight-year-olds), she probably didn’t read the instructions. So, the danger probably lies more in the concept than the execution.
