I'm nitpicking here but I feel like their having been created in 1988 makes them both technically from the '80s and in a practical sense not.

I think it wouldn't necessarily be as effective a storytelling device if the queue, climb, fall were all one straight shot even if it's more logical, but this better method of telling the story also invites such questions.

Looks like a knockoff of another doll feeding toy. I can't remember what it was called but I remember the commercials from...35 years ago?...and the name of the toy was on the cherry jar label. The cherries in the spoon retract into the handle.

Law should protect rights without violating rights. Performative exercise of faith violates no rights and so prohibition of such does not protect them.

Exercises of faith are frequently performative. That they're performative, even against the word (though the word doesn't necessarily apply to all faiths and in particular I don't expect Muslims to be guided by "Matthew 6:6"), isn't reasonable justification for the state to prohibit exercise.
