No. 183 - Sugar Daddy Ken

We went to see Toy Story 3 in 3D tonight. I'm not sure what the 3D part was all about. The picture was certainly very crisp and clear, almost like high definition, instead of the somewhat grainy appearance of regular movies in the theater. There were not any amazing 3D special effects to my recollection.

Ken (as in Barbie and Ken) played a prominent role in this one.

I learned that Ken was introduced by Mattel in 1961 as a friend to Barbie who made her debut in 1959. He is also known as Ken Carson. Since his debut, Ken has held at least forty occupations. His most recent one appears to be sugar daddy, but Mattel says that the name "Sugar Daddy Ken" is because the accompanying dog's name is Sugar and Ken is its daddy.

Okie dokie.

Sugar Daddy Ken joined the Mattel Family in April 2010. He comes with a jacket, pink polo shirt, white shoes, a dog and leash, swim trunks, a doll stand, and a certificate of authenticity.

And this box-o-fun can be yours for the low, low price of just $82!
