Love the coke and candy bar thing. I recall many years ago I was with my eldest daughter and her youngest son, now 28, in a local WalMart. His birthday was coming up so I asked if I could take him to the toy aisle, she assured me it was OK. He was about 1 1/2 yrs. old and as active as any little guy could be. So just to be ornery, I picked up this little pull toy airplane for him to try and he loved it. As you pulled it, the little prop would spin and the insides made a popping noise....quite loudly. And inside th canopy you could see little balls popping up/down with the noise. He was running up/down the aisle pulling that airplane when his mother showed up. For the next 15 minutes she tried to get him interested in something else, to no avail. After a few glares from "mom" she gave up and I just smiled to myself. While there I bought a small squeeze horn for the next oldest son to put on his little bike with training wheels.
I had to leave the next day but heard about all the noisy toys for the next six months. Paybacks are so much fun, makes me wish I lived closer to my great grandkids. I'm sure I could find something for them as well.
