easy bake 18th of evening star, 2018

I'm walking with my sister through a mall during the Xmas holidays but the crowd was unusually light. She walks up to a store selling Xmas decorations and gets the worker's attention. She says "Excuse me? Does any of the nonsense DO anything or is it all just useless junk?"

I gasp and tell her she's being rude but she doesn't apologize. The worker looks at her, hurt and confused, and hesitates before answering. I realize he is the owner of the store. "We have some that do this," he says, gesturing to a 10" tall fluffy reindeer figure. He presses a button on the hoof. The figure starts dancing and singing "Jingle Bell Rock". My sister laughs uncontrollably. She loves it.

We round the corner and see an Easy Bake cooking set: several ovens (light pink, dark pink, and stainless steel), a microwave, and other cooking appliances. My sister starts making cookies (not using an oven) and I start making cupcakes. I tell her I usually like stainless steel, but I will use the light pink. She tells me I'm being ridiculous. None of the ovens get hotter than 145°F, so I make the cupcakes thimble size. I make a mess, but eat the extra batter. My sister makes tiny raw chocolate chip cookies served on pita bread. I eat one. She offers them to the store owner, but he says he's already eaten so many cookies today. We see a commercial for Easy Bake. The entire set is $7000. We also see a commercial for a toy that is physical Tetris but you use a cannon to shoot the pieces at the wall. It works better than it sounds.
