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.”

Looks like “Baby Pole Dancer” needs a potty break.

Yes, this would be a difficult situation to evaluate.

That doesn't disturb me half as much as the 'Baby Meth Lab'.

The barkeep is lamenting the good ol’ days when “those people” had their own bars.

One of the original Matchbox toys that created quite an uproar was a London bus with Players cigarettes ads

In mint condition in the original box they could go for as much as $1000. Around 25 years ago they released a Great beers of the world series

They were sold as "adult collectibles" and people still got bent out of shape over it.

Anyone remember Dan Akroyd’s old SNL routine as toy mfr. Irwin Mainway? His Bag O’ Glass was a popular item ;)
