BEWARE! Your child's toy might just try and eat them!

When Cabbage Patch kids first debuted they were flying off the shelves. These popular dolls were seen getting their hair cut, going for a swim, and even eating. To further this success, Mattel created the Snacktime kid. A Cabbage Patch doll that could literally eat with the help of motors inside its mouth.

Everything was great! That is until kids started feeding them their hair and began to be eaten alive. 👉

Mattel's release of these cannibal Cabbage Patch certainly redefined "Snacktime." But how did they get away with creating this hair-swallowing dolly?

These outfits are to DIE for! 🪦

The Victorian period defined the culture as we know it. Everything from literature, politics, the industrial revolution, and even — fashion. Men and women alike were not only wearing clothes that were dangerous in proportion but also in material!

From mercury in hats, flammable nightgowns, and arsenic dresses, this era had it all 👉

Welcome to the Victorian era where if your irregular bathing habits or lack of vaccinations don't seal your fate, your fashion sense certainly might.
