I used to sniff playdough as a child it has a very distinct smell.

Toys R Us (shame we can’t mirror the R). I have a very sad memory of the adverts. I lived somewhere where there was no Toys R Us as a child and they used to show the adverts and it used to be very upsetting.


Toys 'я' Us ... Did it work?

Anyway, I remember the commercials too. They used to play the theme song advert inside the store too. Usually I think this is a little annoying when I'm already there, but I always liked the TRU song. It was a very fun place to visit at any age.



I think if you worked there it would probably get annoying after a while putting up with the advert all day.

In a post-internet world, toys should be eliminated.

If you're using windows, the most reliable way is to select it from the character map.

Start-> Search "character map" (without quotes).
In the character map, using "Ariel" font, click "advanced view" checkbox.
Search for "Cyrillic capital letter Ya" or "Cyrillic small letter Ya"
Click it; The tile shows in a magnified view.
Then click "Select", then "Copy".

Now you can paste it into a comment box, field or text document. :)

Toys 'Я' Us (with a capital Ya and apostrophe on either side)
Toys 'я' Us (with a small Ya and apostrophe on either side).

Feel free to copy+paste it from my comment if you want too.

Cool! Thank you! 8)

With the exception of a small number of stores in Canada, Toys R Us is finished. As in all stores permanently closed.
