In January 2023, Toasteed posted a quiz on Toasteed.com[1] titled, "I sold you to a pet store! How much did you sell for?" To take the quiz, participants type their name into the prompt box, click "Take the test" and are then given a stat sheet that imagines them as a pet, listing their favorite food, personality type, notes and breeding difficulty on a scale of one to five stars, five being the most difficult (example shown below).
