No, those aren't toys. They aren't even for kids. They're real tools meant for adults.

Garden for the Cause. Note that it doesn't say "for the Cure," since those words are owned by the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which has aggressively pursued companies and nonprofit organizations that have dared to use them without permission.

The only good thing I can say about these pink tools is that they would be hard to misplace in the garden, which is a real issue since most tools are made in muted colors that blend into all the earth tones.

But I think I'd prefer the fluorescent green lopper just below the pink ones, if I had to choose.
