9 Toys That Prepare Children for a Life of Menial Labor [Cracked]

This is a fun commentary on really lousy children's toys. I honestly can't believe some of these even existed. It's like thinking about when you were a kid and all you wanted to do was be a grown up. Now, as a grown up, you kinda wish you were a kid sometimes. It's a never-ending cycle. Here's a funny excerpt from the McDonald's Drive-Thru playset:

To convince a generation that this job is an awesome, wondrous way to spend your formative years? Nice try there, McDonald's, but you already play a crucial role in our workforce: scaring teenagers into getting a degree.

The language gets a bit strong, but click through just to enjoy some of the ridiculous "fun" toy sets. Have you seen any playsets like this that make you wonder? Share in the comments!
