Fisher-Price’s Iconic Toy Telephone Can Now Make Real Phone Calls
Remember the classic toy phone Fisher-Price made that looks like a car with a face on it? They came out in 1961, and every kid had one in the ’80s and ’90s too . . . usually a hand-me-down.
Well, the newest version just got a major upgrade. It can now make REAL phone calls.
Fisher-Price is selling a new Bluetooth version of it that looks like the classic toy, but pairs with your smartphone. So you or your kids can use it to make actual phone calls.
It’s still got the classic rotary dial that spins around . . . so, have fun teaching your kids what THAT’S all about. And a man’s voice says each digit out loud when you dial . . . so you can learn your numbers.
They cost $60, and you can only get them at Best Buy. They’re not on sale yet, but you can pre-order one on their website.
Fisher-Price is still selling the normal, non-Bluetooth kids’ version for $10. But with that one, you’ll have to go back to just pretending you’re on the phone.
Give your childhood a call with the special edition Fisher-Price® Chatter Telephone™ with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Smartphone required. Only at @BestBuy: https://t.co/bwi1eJo7a2 pic.twitter.com/xPi8g17NB5

Sour Patch Kids Popcorn Is Now a Thing That Exists
Some people we’ve talked to about this think it sounds good. Others think it’s disgusting. But one thing is clear . . . you’ll never get it out of your teeth. Sour Patch Kids POPCORN is now a thing that exists.
Walmart is getting it first, and you’ll eventually be able to buy it at other stores too. It’s made by the brand Candy Pop, which already makes versions that taste like Chips Ahoy, M&Ms, Oreos, Twix, Snickers, and Butterfingers.
The main difference here is it’s GUMMY candy. And they’re not just infusing the popcorn so it tastes like Sour Patch Kids. It’s actually got little pieces of gummy candy stuck to every kernel. They’re also sprinkled with a “sour sugar” concoction.
Taco Bell Is Giving Away Free Breakfast Burritos Tomorrow
Taco Bell is still trying to convince people that faux Mexican food is a good option for breakfast. And their newest tactic is to just give it away for FREE.
They’re handing out free Toasted Breakfast Burritos tomorrow morning from 7:00 to 11:00 A.M. at Taco Bells nationwide. You don’t have to order anything else to get one, but you do have to show up in person. They’re not doing deliveries.
They launched their first breakfast items back in 2014, but paused breakfast during the pandemic. Now it’s back at about 90% of their locations. So the burrito giveaway is also an attempt to remind us that Taco Bell breakfast exists.
