I don't think babies should be eating Filet-O-Fish sandwiches in the womb.
The premise
Here’s the bit.
At a twelve-month checkup, a doctor scans a patient who shrugs off warnings about caffeine and spicy snacks. The screen shows the twins breakdancing, smoking and skipping rope with their umbilical cords. When a delivery man turns up with a bag of fish sandwiches, the babies have placed the order themselves, and the mother happily approves of the screen time. The doctor's horror grows as the twins finish their meal and vanish from the screen.
