Yogi Bear's Bathroom Entertainment Concept that never was

Now here’s a discovery of mine that takes the age old 

“Does a BEAR shit in the woods?” Idiom 

and puts it into new surprising METAs.

In today's era of BRINGING IN YOUR SMARTPHONE into the bathroom just to watch someone's Gaming Twitch Stream, YouTube Video, or watching an Anime Fansub, 

all while taking a crap, shaving your beard, showering, cleaning your cat's business, cleaning the bathroom with cleaning products, etc.

One would wonder what the hell were people doing for entertainment when in the bathroom during the mid to late 20th Century?

Reading a Book, or a Magazine?

That's one way to look at it.

But what about music?

You could bring to the bathroom your portable Transistor Radio....

But why do that when you've got this:

This product as you see up there is a Toilet Paper Holder/Transistor Radio.

Why bother bringing in your own personal radio when you could have an all-in-one system that holds your wads?

Not only was this a Transistor Radio you can stick to the wall with Adhesives, Screws, or Pushpins.

But you could also listen to the Radio while also pulling in your toilet paper from the thing itself.

All while using Hanna-Barbera’s YOGI BEAR as the product’s spokesbear.

Oh Look, 

Yogi Bear's bathroom has almost the exact same layout as 

my own bathroom at home.

I have to wonder.... Is that Radio FM or AM?

However, there's no such thing as Pink Toilet Paper unlike what John K. thought when he did his blogpost about this particular transistor radio back in 2012 when questioning the merits of the Modern IOS/ANDROID Operating system for phones.

If there was even such a thing as PINK TOILET PAPER, it would have about the same texture as that awful SANDPAPER Toilet Paper used in Public Bathrooms in places like Schools, Community Centers, etc.

If you happen to still have this KIDDIE BATHROOM RADIO, whether it's inherited from your Childhood or from your parents' childhood, 

you'd better stock a roll of CHARMIN ULTRA-SOFT TOILET PAPER on the thing just to make YOGI BEAR, BOOBOO BEAR, and RANGER SMITH happy.....

And stick it up against these bears for mauling Mr. Whipple in 1999.

To half-heartily quote LGR from the BEAR-A-BYTE PC Restoration video from 2023:

"Seriously, they need to stop lying,

No Bear that HAIRY is HAPPY with Toilet Paper alone!”

While we all still have our Charmin Bears, the Bathroom Radio/Toilet Paper Holder concept never got off the ground for the 21st Century.

Probably because of the Smartphone which although was invented by IBM with their SIMON in 1994, didn't fully take off until 2007 with Apple's iPhone.

Unfortunately, most smartphones don't come built-in with an FM RADIO app so you have to download it.

And the reception comes from either your cellular connection or your Wi-Fi since most iPhones and Android phones don't have an FM Antenna built-in anymore.

All of this radio business gone to bust is already much to Homer Simpson's Chagrin, 

in 1998 standards that is.

"Let's just say I'm sitting on the right chair!"

Yes, I did save this post for today September 29 because while I did miss the Bear's 65th Anniversary in 2023, At least I saved his 67th Anniversary for today because September 29 1958 was when he made his debut alongside HUCKLEBERRY HOUND.
