I live near East Aurora. My aunt submitted all our family's kids photos to them and a few of us ended up on boxes. Her kid is on the original Bubble Mower.

Did you ever fall down a well?

I didn't, but I remember being quite afraid to after following that event live on TV for days.

I don’t understand this reference. Is it to “Baby Jessica”?

No, it is a reference to an episode of the Simpsons in which Bart uses a microphone of the sort the OP posted to trick people into thinking someone had fallen down the well.

(The episode itself is presumably inspired by the real-life incident.)

Oh, I thought it was about Baby Jessica too but I remember that episode of the Simpsons now :)
