Fisher-Price made a working Chatter telephone for adults
Maybe it’s because I’m a (relatively) new parent, maybe it’s because my nostalgia-riddled brain will forever be entangled with plastic Fisher-Price toys, or maybe it’s because this is just hands-down a cool product, but no matter the why, I will be adding this Fisher-Price – Chatter Telephone with Bluetooth (available at Best Buy) to my Christmas list!
If you ever wished as a child that your fake Fisher-Price telephone would actually work, well, ready your credit card, because you can now make that dream come true. The toy company has made a special edition the iconic Chatter telephone for its 60th anniversary — one that’s fully functional and can make and receive calls. Before you start planning on where to display it at your home, know that it doesn’t work as a landline unit. It connects to your iOS or Android phone via Bluetooth instead and has to be within 15 feet of your mobile device to work.
