Back when those toys were popular it was easy to bribe our kid who is always eager to get some quarters for the gumball machines with the toys.
A family was very impressed when they heard us bribing our kid in an elevator telling him that we would get him bok choy if he played violin. We had loads of comments around getting children to eat vegetables, completely being out of the loop on bok choy boys..
As far as the video goes. I guess silly begets silly.
