Don’t worry the Easy Bake Oven wasn’t all it cracked up to be. Everything tasted burnt and undercooked all at the same time…idk how to explain it. I always wanted one of those Barbie heads that you could do hair and makeup on. I guess my parents thought that was a bit too creepy. 

OMG I loved mine!! I always made the brownies ..... probably like 5 times a week.... 

For more of this discussion and to hear about other toys I wasn’t allowed to play with as child, listen to our sister act recap with Priscilla of @bonjourbitchesblog -

I wanted one of those Barbie cars that you could actually drive SO BAD. I was told they were too expensive and it would never happen.

Well, joke’s on you, mom and dad, because I’m in my mid-30s and don’t know how to drive. Could have been Danica Patrick if only I got the car.

You truly missed out I could beat Bobby flay with mine 

In this week's recap of "Sister Act," we took time to discuss other important things we were doing in 1992 when the movie was released, and for 4-year-old me, that was not doing much else but playing with toys.

The Creepy Crawlers Bug Maker came out that year, and while I was thrilled to be able to flex my creative genius as I crafted insects of all colors of the rainbow- mostly hot pink and neon green (sorry, Dad! Should have been a sign) - I was low key pissed that I never got an Easy Bake Oven because it was "for girls."

Cut to 35-year-old me, still unable to cook and with bugs in my apartment. Do I blame my parents? A little bit. Should I be telling my therapist instead of making a community post about it? Perhaps. So let me book an emergency session while I leave you with this question:

What toy or game still lingers with you, haunting you with the fact that you weren't allowed to get it as a child? And more importantly - do you want it badly enough as an adult to get it on eBay? (Because I may or may not know that the Easy Bake Oven is available for $40...)

Still Pissed I Never Got An Easy Bake Oven...
