Hasbro has turned a number of its hottest toy manufacturers into multimedia franchises lately. The checklist of toys-turned-movies consists of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Energy Rangers. And so they’ve even turned some board video games into motion pictures or reveals, like Clue and Ouija, which did nicely sufficient to get a sequel. However a TV present primarily based on a toy oven? That’s undoubtedly breaking new floor.
And now it’s occurring, over at Netflix. The streaming service will quickly launch Simple-Bake Battle: The Dwelling Cooking Competitors, which based on its official plot synopsis is “impressed by Hasbro’s iconic Simple-Bake Oven, that includes expert and extremely intelligent dwelling cooks, all with a ton of coronary heart and soul, dealing with off and utilizing their most ingenious kitchen hacks to show who could make the simplest, quickest, and most scrumptious meals.”
The Simple-Bake Oven is among the hottest toys of all time. Launched by Kenner in 1963, it’s nonetheless produced to today. The unique fashions baked varied treats from packaged mixes utilizing the warmth from a 100-watt gentle bulb.
Newer variations of the toy, which is now made by Hasbro, up to date the inner-workings to comprise a extra typical heating factor. (The system has tiny slots on its sides to insert and take away the baked items with out sticking a toddler’s delicate fingers inside a working oven.)
Right here is how Netflix describes the premise of their new Simple-Bake Battle:
In every fast-faced and hack-packed episode, host Antoni Porowski (Queer Eye) invitations three imaginative dwelling cooks into the Simple-Bake Kitchen. Over the course of two rounds, they’ll go head-to-head, racing in opposition to the clock in each savory and candy challenges, every primarily based on relatable food-filled life conditions that require them to drag off a quick and intelligent meal inside a delegated time, and making it as simple as potential!

So that they don’t particularly say the contestants need to cook dinner issues utilizing an Simple-Bake Oven, but when this present really consists of individuals making $25,000 baked items in youngsters’s toys, I’m completely watching (and probably shopping for an Simple-Bake Oven after which auditioning to get on Season 2). After which I desire a sport present primarily based on Hungry Hungry Hippos the place individuals need to feed as a lot meals as they probably can to actual, dwell hippos. That’s a can’t-miss idea.
