Puff and I visited the Fisher-Price HQ earlier this year. We did not steal trophies.

Awwwww, these people made that bunny and <3.

Also, East Aurora has a Tim Hortons. Holy crap, I'd love some Timbits right now. Send to Stef, please.

That Title better be a reference to End of the World Flash.

Cool. Was it purely a design / business center or did they have manufacturing.?

Dunno. The only public part was the toy store. Raided Hot Wheels bin. Ate more Timbits. Success.

I'm guessing mostly design, though.

And you worked there when they still made Puffalumps! <3

I wish I could pick the brains of whoever came up with the Puffalumps. I mean, how'd they come up with something so awesome?

Oh man, I used to intern at FP! I would have told you to eat/drink at Bar Bells - this hole in the wall with the best Buffalo Wings I've ever had. Tuesdays were half price if I remember.

I just now saw this, but I was pining for good chicken wings the whole trip.

Also, super jelly. Know anyone who worked with Puffalumps? I'd love to get in touch!

Sadly I didn’t know anyone who worked with Puffalumps. I was on R&D /Visualization Team & my friends were in either Boys Team or Marketing.
