That might make for an interesting challenge for a cooking competition show, requiring the chefs during a particular challenge to incorporate something created using one of those food toys into their dish. You could even ask them to theme their dish to the decade in which the toy was most popular.
Give the chefs a little extra time before the competition starts (untimed, but recorded for potential use as B-roll) to (re)familiarize themselves with the toy (and express their nostalgia) when they’re not on the clock.
