    My 6yo son insists the head’s actually saying, “Grim, grinny ghosts come out to socialize.”
    Have you seen “Eat Mr. Snaffleburger food”? Mata does a great parody around “Ecstatic Meal toys.”

    Why would happy meal toys talk about socialization? Words like that make people sound like machines. Let us be natural!

    Close, Darby. “Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize” is a line from the Haunted Mansion theme song (courtesy of an old Disney Sing-a-long tape I haven’t gotten around to chucking yet).

    What’s the big deal about socialization? I still don’t understand…
