    I get 4 out of 6 and I’m only 30.

    That must make these toys enduring classics, surely.

    sjem … I think they were truly “fads” ... going round and round and round every few years!!

    A skateboard?
    A frisbee?
    A tennis ball?
    A stick that turns into a sword/gun/harpoon?

  • Cathie Tranentcommunity host replied

    Thought about the frisbee and discarded it.
