Things, Inc have had a hand in creating, off the top of my head, petroleum-based banana flavouring (which they were going to add to the water supply!!), experimental coffee cake, Mister Wilson, and a new blender that has a speed between whip and frappe.
I'm thinking, with the death of Walt Wilson, Betty's rapid aging, and the most likely abdication of Bert and Ernie as heirs to the Foreverware throne, Thing, Inc. is looking to move into the domestic sphere and fill the void that the Wilsons once occupied - weird, creepy household products that people find they quite literally can't live without, which makes it easy to gather a cult following around.
So they start recruiting America's best and brightest (Edgar says he got a scholarship to MIT, from NASA) and recruiting them, probably unknowingly, to their nefarious purpose.
You know the episode of the Simpsons where Homer goes to work for Hank Scorpio? That, basically.
It's going to be pretty brutal for Mars when he realises his dad.is actually part of the problem in Eerie.
