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
We grew up poor. No easybake; and that ice cream playset is new for me. My friends had the hungry hippo game, mastermind, battleship, lots of gi-joe dolls, then nintendos and 3DOs and segas later.
Strangely enough, we were fine with monopoly and sorry and cards - uno! - and even wooden swords; but what I envied was the train set my friend’s dad had set up. It was glorious, with mountains and tunnels and switches and houses and trees, all papier mache and painted wooden models and plastic people.
