How’d you manufacture something like this? How’d you get Walmart to sell it? How everything please. I got an idea for a mean talking toothbrush.

So the thing costs a 100 dollars and then you can only use it for an hour before needing to pay more?

Santa will tell your son or daughter to go beg his or her parents to pay 'santa' for more talk time:

That's not what I understood Santa to be like.

I could see charging after some point, but 60 minutes is a remarkably short talk time. Yesterday I had a 60 minute phone call about bike tires with my dad; if a child has any interest in the phone they'll burn through the 60 minutes

I think the bet is that kids are quite good at begging and pestering their parents to spend money on things, and kids will want to talk to Santa for more than 60 minutes. Just my guess
