She thought to herself that there were no teenage and adult dolls on the market, she then took her idea to husband Elliot Handler who was one of the co-founders of Mattel Toys.

You’ve never mentioned it.” These are just a few prominent examples of the little quips I’ve brainwashed my friends into saying.
