Microwave a "Chips Ahoy!"

"I thought I wanted to make toys.

It’s interesting that we don’t remember our first toy (which we met in our “goo-goo gaga” time), even though it’s our first experience with a toy. Generally, these toys were chosen by adults for their own self-satisfaction. And you grew up with, played with, threw, and licked these toys. It’s close, but not the same, as a monkey, a rabbit or a duck.

The world of toys is super eccentric.
I like it, though.
I mean, I love it.
Even if a bear was wearing sky-blue fur; or an ostrich was driving a car; or a giraffe was walking on two legs; or a car had two eyes, a nose, and a mouth; or an Ultraman’s legs were twisted in a weird way…Everything is fantastic, and kids are hooked on toys all over the world.

How wonderful!
I decided I’m going to make toys that will make adults happy, like eating a “Chips Ahoy!” warmed by a microwave! I was so excited that I entered the following words into Google: “An adult toy.”
There were plenty of “ADULT” toys…

I would be happy if you enjoyed with my kinky world of toys."
