Toys R Us was meant for like ages 4 and under.

It was an awesome store when I was 4. But I outgrew it by age 7, maybe age 8 at the oldest.

Pretty sure I got my first multi-geared mountain bike from TRU. This is some fricking nonsense

Did you just have a really shitty TRU or something?

Toy sales among adult-only households have now outpaced households with children for toy sales

Surprised it took this long. Adult-only households have way more disposable income, and most childless adults are weird nowadays. They were probably weird previously too, but they’re definitely weird now

This is hard to square with an affordability crisis.

It may have turned into that before the end, but it was absolutely not that in its glory days
