... that the Canadian Toy Testing Council had a waiting list of families wanting to test toys and games? Source: "And though it is non-paid work, it is a popular gig, says Leigh Poirier, executive director of the CTTC. Think of Tom Hanks in Big playing chopsticks with his boss on an oversized piano. "Usually, we do have a waiting list," she says." The coolest job on the block

Mindmatrix, review follows: New article nominated within the time frame, long enough, no copyvio, article is well referenced. QPQ carried out (three years ago). My spotcheck checks out, hook is verified, though I think rephrasing the hook to 'often had a waiting list' would read a little better and be more accurate to the sourcing. Otherwise, looks good to me. Cheers, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:00, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
