The Millennial Urge to Buy American Girl’s New Pizza Hut-Themed Toy Set | Eater
"A long‑running doll company has released two 1999‑themed historical‑collection dolls whose accessories intentionally act as a concentrated '90s time capsule: a bulky desktop computer with a green alien coffee mug, a purple inflatable chair with a CD player, and a $32 themed toy set that recreates a personal‑pan pepperoni pizza in an era‑accurate paper box with faux Parmesan and red‑pepper shakers, a miniature craggy red plastic soda cup, a replica '90s pin, and a 'free pizza' certificate referencing the BOOK IT! reading program. The launch is positioned both as a nostalgic throwback for adults and as an educational tool to teach younger kids about late‑'90s American childhood culture." - Bettina Makalintal
