Wow. I bought it because my 3 year old granddaughter chose it from an ad magazine. She likes to go shopping and then expects her grandmother to shop. So I bought it because it's not that expensive and gave it to her. She was delighted! But what upset me is that her mom left it in the living room because the little one plays with it ALL THE TIME! I can't believe it but after 6 months she still loves it and plays with it like it's new. Everyone gets a bag every day. Visitors have to order what they want. And she still plays with him herself. Also, we all pay cash. She tells us how much we owe - $1 for each spoonful plus $1 for the topping. She calculates the costs herself and knows when she has received the right amount. This gift turned out to be a much better buy than I expected.
