This Insane Toy Lets Actual Crickets Drive Tiny Cars

Has your son or daughter ever received a gift and said, “Boy, Dad, I sure I like this insanely expensive toy, but is there any way my favorite pests can get involved as well?”

If so, you’re in luck. The Bug Racer from Mattel is here at last! It’s the only car that takes the power away from your child and gives it to a presumably terrified and disoriented cricket!

The control is fitted with sensors that detect which way the cricket is moving (which is most likely away from your child). The crickets don’t come with the car, but Mattel politely suggests that you go to the store and buy bags of them for your child. That doesn’t sound like a nightmare at all!
