Toy Bluetooth Headset?

Take a look at the picture below, don't these two objects look very similar?

Headsets

The one on the left is a Shrek KNight light the one on the right is a Bluetooth headset. The KNight light came out of my box of Rice Krispies today and I immediately thought it looked like my Bluetooth headset. The directions that come with it even make it look like a child's version of a Bluetooth headset.

Directions

I think there is a headset that does look a lot like this one. I could see a child liking this because it is similar to something that their parents have. I can also see a major annoyance factor here since the child can turn on the light and shine it at anyone they are looking at.

KNight Light

It is actually sort of an interesting toy since you are supposed to wear it on your ear and it shoots a red light out of the end. Today so many cereals don't have toys in them. The light wasn't even in the bag with the cereal it was on the top so when I opened the box I took it out. I remember when the toy was at the bottom of the bag of cereal and you had to eat all of the cereal to get to it.

For the record I didn't buy the cereal because it had a toy. In fact I didn't even realize it had a toy until I picked up the box to pour a bowl of cereal. :)
