Toys From Your Childhood That Today's Kids Would Probably Not Want

[Hoofbite]

I'll start with one of my favorites.

Damn, I thought both of these were cool as hell.

I used to love going to the school fair or whatever it was and letting some paint fly.

That's a toy huh? You had a boring child hood if you never got toys of your own, outside of a bike.

I'm sorry.

BTW: I still ride that "toy", today.

Absolutely it was. There was nothing more fun in the summer than jumping dirt piles and stuff with my friends on our bikes, riding around pretending we were on motorcycles, etc.

You never put cards in your wheels with clothespins?

The simple things are what I enjoyed.

I couldn't ever figure those things out, lol. Believe me I tried and have the scars to show for it.

Oh really?

hey! Strat-o-matic football? Hello?

 

[Jammer]

I was undefeated in this game until I let a friend borrow it. He figured out the way the play cards worked and after that it wasn't fun any more.

Played that game to death, well into our 30s, grew up on Strat baseball and then hockey.

So much fun.

OMG YES! I search Ebay everyday looking for one!

it was the 5th grade. i went to a private catholic school. we had one of those concrete sewer pipes in the playground to ... well play in.

i'd rev him up as much as i could to see how many loops he'd do inside the pipe.

oddly enough it was inside that same concrete tube i smoked my first cigeratte.

I rained terror on my relatives cats with this thing.

No mention of Rock em Sock em Robots. What about APBA baseball? Electric football was very cool. I think the teams were Bears and Cardinals though, maybe the Browns. Also had most dangerous toy ever, lawn jarts. Those were awsome.
