I am 50 years old as of Friday and I had and STILL have my Suzy Homemaker oven complete with the original light bulb with the original cake mix burnt onto it. Those days were awesom. However I looked nothing like the chick in the commercial or even knew anyone who looked like her back then.
I wish I still had my Suzie Homemaker stuff-mom donated all of our toys to the local nursery school when we outgrew them I think she just got tired of buying the extra light bulb lol!
The best Christmas of my life is when I received my Suzy Homemaker Oven, Blender and Soda Fountain. I just knew that big box was my beloved oven and I kept peaking through the wrapping paper to see. Oh the joy when I opened it and the hours and hours of fun baking. I just lost my sweet mother last month and can remember putting too much batter in the pan and we all jumped up and down in the kitchen to make the cake "fall" so it wouldn't overflow in the oven. What fun we had.!
Loved these toys growing up. they worked! Hours of fun. They were safe too, nowdays everyone is so paranoid the toys don't do anything. We also played on monkey bars on cement or tarmac - we were not sissies. Now the feminist nazi's & overprotective parents do anything to wreck any fun for fear a kid might scratch themselves or actually growup knowing whether they are male or female Everything must be gender neutral no wonder so many kids are confused about their sexuality Toys suck now.
Oh, you just had to bring up the "feminazi" phrase, even though feminism wasn't mentioned at all in the video.
"or actually growup knowing whether they are male or female"
So only females can cook, clean, etc.? Only males can actually go on adventures in the outside world? Yeah, we should totally continue to brainwash kids into fitting into the male/female role model and ignore their personal interests that weren't determined solely by gender.
my friends daughter got some kind of toy of 2days time,and she played with it about 2hours and it broke right into,but the Suzy Homemaker of 1960s was built 2 last,all them toys of that time were made better.
wow. nice stuff. im a homemaker in my own home and i want these toys. i want to pretend that chores are all pretend..they are fun and i can quit ironing anytime i want to bake and eat a huge cake because i dont REALLY have any responsibilities. im just a little girl. lol
Okay, I was a child of the 80s and had an EasyBake oven, and I consider myself to be a modern woman, but toys like THIS for a kid looked pretty cool. ESPECIALLY if you were able to make your own food for up to six friends.
Ahhh, such fond memories!!! Have kids nowadays just gotten stupider, or parents wimpier? Toys like this nowadays are just a lawsuit waiting to happen. What a sad commentary on youth today.
The Suzy Homemaker Oven was easily the most influential "toy" of my childhood. My sister and I played "kitchen" endlessly. I seem to remember it taking hours to bake a cake by light bulb! As adults, we still enjoying cooking and often comment that it was the Suzy Homemaker products that turned us into good cooks!
this looks so cute ^^ (in a stereotypical and sexist way) but still! i wish toys today would focus more on simple real life things like they used to be, i mean, all toys for girls today focus on popularity and superficialism...
Funny thing about the Suzi Home Appliances is that I had them all. They were hours of enjoy ment as a kid until the day my brother baked my spiograph set in the oven and provided the foul smell of burnt plastic my bedroom thus ending the days of endless joy to which I had pretending to be a domestic engineer. WTF...no wonder I hate doing house work today or do I?
I remember a Suzy Homemaker commercial and I just HAD to have that oven. Mom tried to persuade me to get the grill instead. No! I wanted to bake cookies and cakes, not cook! I think I was 7 or so. I used that oven quite a bit, but recall feeling ripped off because it didn't bake cakes any near the size the ads claimed. Still, it was a thrill to have my own oven. As un-PC as these toys were, I thank Suzy Homemaker, in part, for stimulating my interest in baking, which I retain today.
i really want this now we have crappy toys

In the past they were trained to be ladies. Now they are trained to be sluts. Both situations work fine for me.

I was the proud owner of a Suzy Homemaker oven and washing machine.
The only downside of the washer was...an adult had to manually empty it for you!
