I have a horror story of a peril some of my plastic toy soldiers experienced. Specifically, my Indians. Well defined, muscular bodies, wearing only a headband, moccasins, and a breechcloth. My younger sister who was far too young to have any idea of the parallel to real world, oiled up body builders, thought they looked better if she glossed them up with a thin sheen of butter - the better to see their abs, pecs, biceps, and the rest. When done playing with them, she'd just leave them wherever she was. Warm butter smells like "food" even if it doesn't smell like "BACON" and they would enjoy their "chew toys."
