Meat in Basket

While hunting for snowpants (don't you miss those??), hats, mittens, post-apocalyptic gas masks, and other cold-weather related seasonal contraband, we stumbled upon a most educational toy.
 


But my dearest sister, why are you so sad? "Meat in Basket" is one of the most amazing discoveries I've made in recent weeks. What's next? "Meat in Bucket", "Meat on Rollercoaster", "Meat in Meat", or "Meat in Well with accompanying pulley system"?? There is so much potential to capitalize on making toys imitating plastic meat-shaped oblongs in various nooks and crannies in everyday life.

I've got to start perusing the dollar bins at Target more carefully.

Bizarre. Really, really bizarre. I wonder why it's not "meat in A basket," but just "meat in basket." That sounds much more avant garde.

There were also no corresponding "vegetables in basket." I think this says everything about America. Clearly, the dollar bins at Target = the state of the nation.

I think Sudha has a point there...Meat in Basket may very well be the new wave of middle America toydom!
