A mom took to TikTok to vent after the “dark show of late stage capitalism” she found in a Fisher-Price toy. TikTok creator @Mrs.frazzled made a post about the “Fisher-Price 2-in-1 Like a Boss” activity center. It’s designed like a grownup’s office, and turned typical productivity tools into fun toys. The mom captioned the video, “My husband and I shrieked over her playing with this for like 20 mins. We facetimed our entire family.” The toy features a computer desk and mouse that sing a jingle “A-B-C-D-E-mail.” It also includes a fake coffee mug, succulent, tissue box, presentation charts, smartphone, tape dispenser, and rattle shaped like a safety pin holder. One person commented on the post, “Bar graph is what’s killing me!! Who pitched this as an idea[?]”.
