Toys are not just fun, they're also a source of inspiration. Usually toys are associated with children and pets, but it is not unusual for adult humans and some non-domesticated animals to play with toys.
Take a look at these toy inspired innovations including green toys, sex toys, toys as business cards,furniture made out of toys, racially sensitive toy ads, toys for pigs, celebrity dog toys and yogurt containers as toys.
Implications - My favorite among these toy-inspired innovations has got to be the drugged-out toys, which feature dolls that look as though they've succumb to the effects of major drug usage. Why get strung out yourself when you can play with dolls that do that for you?
