A Pan for the PlaySkool Ball Popper

Pan? Hand it to me so I can bash the crap out of this thing.

After reading on several websites about how wonderful the Playskool Ball Popper is, “Santa” decided to buy it for my son for Christmas. Unfortunately, it’s quite possibly the worst toy we own, for a couple of reasons.

1. It has “8 lively songs to add to the fun” drive the parents bat shit crazy.

2. The site description says “Sometimes they spill over, for even more drop-and-take play!” That should read:

“The balls land where they’re supposed to about 3% of the time. The rest of the time they bounce off the rails and roll under the couch, causing children to scream until their parents crawl around and retrieve them all so that the games may continue.”

While the Ball Popper is entertaining for the first few minutes (as long as you sit right there to retrieve wayward balls over and over), and admittedly, the kids love it, I really wish I would have spent my $25 on something less annoying.
