Found out about this story from the lost media wiki forums and thought it was so interesting and funny. I am hoping toyblr can have more info on this toy.

In 2003, there was a toy recall at Walmart, but not for any of the expected reasons. The toy was a baby's sound machine, meant to soothe babies to bed. The toy was shaped like a tugboat, with some cute sea critters to top it all off.

The problem? Many parents listening to the ocean wave sounds heard a faint voice repeating "I hate you" over and over again. Whether the audio of a voice saying "I hate you" was actually in the sounds, or if it is a case of pareidolia is unknown, however interestingly in one news article*, Walmart did not chalk it up to the phenomenon, calling the noise parents were concerned about "beeps" instead.

The toy was very quickly recalled, no evidence of its existence is documented outside of photos and news articles from the time period. It is a miracle the high quality photo displayed above exists at all.

This is where I think toyblr could step in, if any of you guys have collected toys from 2003 or know someone who has, see if you have this toy and if its audio still works. It would be an incredible find for such a bizarre and somewhat funny search.

More important info:

This toy was under Walmart's "Kid Connections" brand and was presumably manufactured in China. However, the toy could have been manufactured anywhere outside of America as stated in a rant against the brand:

To save money, Wal-Mart contracts with manufacturers to make several private label toys, which are sold under names such as Wal-Mart's Kid Connection. Profit margins on these products, many of which are manufactured outside the United States, are often twice those of brand-name toys, said the executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he continues to do business with the retailer.

This toy was made as a cheaper alternative/competitor to Fisher Price's Ocean Wonders Aquarium toy. While there's similarities in design and function, Ocean Wonders Aquarium does not share the same audio as the recalled toy.

I would love for this to be found some day, for the novelty factor and curiosity if the audio really did include that "subliminal message".

*which I will not link to due to it coming from a very alt-right news source, however is linked in the lost media wiki post for those truly curious on the full story

Spencer having a flashback of meeting his wife/mother of his child back in a club working on a case while she’s a stripper (idk if you’ve ever seen PValley but that kinda club)

𝐈’𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬 (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

“𝐃𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐩 𝐧𝐨𝐰?“

𝐂𝐰.𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐨 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝, 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫! 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭, 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.

(I have not watched PValley besides from like one minute of it, but I tried my best)

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲-𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫! 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐭 𝟔 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨.

There you were looking as gorgeous as ever,

Standing to the side next to the entrance of the club in your long light pink heels, your matching pink bikini set with black lace, the word Angel written in black cursive in the middle of the bikini bottoms, an gold ‘A’ pendant dangling from her chain sitting in between her chest “Would you like a drink?” Spencer heard a sweet voice say above him, he looked up and saw the brown skinned woman he was admiring from afar when he was supposed to be looking for the unsub, but he could wait for now, “Actually...yeah“.

“Dada!” the little girl yells hovering over Spencer as he stirs in his sleep “Daddy Mama said wake up!” she shouts shaking his shoulders as he begins to open his eyes slightly “Daddy are you up now?” she whispers, Spencer slowly opens his eyes and is met with his daughter hovering over him a big smile on her face as she realizes his up now “Hi Angel” Spencer grunts sitting up straight and rubbing his eyes as he tries to adjust to the new light, “Dada- Dada- Mama made breakfast she told me to come wake you up and- oh wait!- she told me to ask if you called back that one guy- you know the um-”

Spencer smiles softly as he watches the Three-year-old ramble on, “Come on Angel” Spencer smiles standing up off the bed and reaching his hands out to grab the girl, “Oh and guess what- I learned how to count to five all by myself!” the little girl continues her rambling as she clings to her father's side, “Mama I woke daddy up!” Angel shouts happily as Spencer carries her into the kitchen, “Good job baby” Y/n coos turning off the stove so the bacon won't burn, she turns around and gives Spencer a quick peck on the cheek and whispers good morning as she pulls away before placing a kiss on the little girl's forehead “Do you want pancakes or waffles?” Y/n asks smiling softly as she looks up at Spencer

“Whatever you think is best Angel,” he says looking down at her with those big brown loving eyes, Y/n giggles softly and places a long kiss on his lips “Ew!” a little voice cuts through the silence Angel covers her eyes as they pull away from the kiss both of them erupting in a fit of giggles as they watch her peak through her little fingers a small smile on her face.
