#12: A Relic of the Past
You probably remember the commercials “I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R’ Us Kid.” They represented the staple toy store that was shared generation after generation. But there was another huge toy store back in the day that utilized a much less memorable jingle in the 80s, Child World. Their motto was, “everything a toy store should be.”

Child World also had an animal mascot, but instead of a cartoon giraffe, the store was represented by a man on skates wearing an oversized panda head. While the toys were affordable and 80s children had a blast running up and down the aisle, this store wouldn’t make it past the 90s.
