That actually sounds decent. And it would not surprise me if it was something the audience was meant to actually try eating. Teddy Ruxpin clearly understood the kind of impact it could have on the impressionable and tried to use that trust as responsibly as possible.
Case in point: “Illiop” is the name of Teddy Ruxpin’s species. He’s not actually a bear, just a bear-like creature. This seemed like a charmingly decorative detail until I learned there’s a Teddy Ruxpin storybook called “All About Bears,” which explains that actual bears are different than Teddy Ruxpin.
