Connecting Toys ‘R’ Us and Flying Cars

Toys “R” Us’ “Fabulous 15” list of hot Christmas toys includes “Disney Jr. Doc McStuffins Get Better Talking Mobile Cart” (breathe) and “Hot Wheels Street Hawk Remote Control Flying Car.”

For Baby Boomers the Street Hawk is another reminder they were born too soon, Omni magazine having promised them flying cars, jetpacks and pot roast in pill form.

Retailers say they’re prepared; then again, Home Depot recently announced a data breach that affected 56 million debit and credit cards.

This would mean those delivery drones we keep hearing about. Google and Amazon have tested the vehicles and find them difficult to control in high winds, common in winter.

It’s flying cars and pot roast all over again.
