Outrage Sparked on Social Media Over Fake 'Baby Bar' Product
NBC Bay Area ^ | Dec 8, 2016

Posted on 12/08/2016 4:19:07 PM PST by nickcarraway

An online backlash over a supposed “happy hour playset” for kids has proven to be misplaced since the item in question doesn’t exist.

After a Facebook user posted a photo Tuesday that showed the set – complete with bar stools, plastic bottles and featuring what appeared to be the Fisher-Price logo – people began to post messages on the company’s social media pages condemning the product.

The box featured three toddlers, two holding bottles while a third appearing behind the bar.

The hoax debunker website Snopes.com investigated the item and found that it isn’t real.

Fisher-Price also responded with a statement saying the set is “not endorsed, produced or approved.”

Of course, he’s pissed. He’s been on shift 12 hours, and no one’s changed his diaper.

LOL!

I do think this is inappropriate, though.

How? Didn’t everybody have a “Happy Hour Playset” growing up?

No sh*t.

Good grief, how stupid are people these days?

I have cousins that live in Oklahoma and they and their kids are always commenting on or sharing fake crap on FB.
It annoys the crap out of me. Lol

It’s the old “Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything” psychosis, left over from their student days.

That’s awesome! They need some bubble-gum cigars and candy cigarettes, though!

“Crack Whore Barbie” may have some use, as in identifying which patron won’t kill you.

I think “Happy Hour Playset” can help depending on which role you take. Everybody cannot be the Bartender every time.

Teaches communication and cooperation.

Of course we all thank Snopes for their valuable service as well.

I think it is awesome. I posted it on my husband’s wall with the caption ‘if only’...

it would be a great play area for our daughter in our family room (tiki bar)

Ask Elisa Montagu. Seeing that, I wouldn’t trust her in any sort of position that required interaction with the public and independent judgement.
