I was born in the waning days of the Truman administration. Back when I was a kid parents just accepted that some kids would win the Darwin award, and not pass their genes on to diminish the intelligence of the next generation. You're right. If we got hurt playing with a toy, it was considered our own fault for being stupid with it. We quickly learned to be careful.

[@powellmountainmike8853]

@@lovelessk999 Yes, the flu DOES kill SOME kids, a few, almost always with some underlying condition like a compromised immune system. Yes, that is sad, especially for their parents; but, in the greater scheme of things it prevents their weaker genes from being passed on to weaken the gene pool of the next generation. However, since the invention of aspirin, which has reduced the dangers posed by fever, the VAST MAJORITY of children survive the flu, and thereby obtain immunity against that and similar strains in the future. The knee jerk, bleeding heart reaction to attempt to prevent everybody from even being infected with a disease which is seldom actually fatal is well meaning, but misguided. It is another example of "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

Of course, some cars didn't feed through the spinning foam wheels so well. The Splittin' Image always misfired! And everybody on the block had tons of the orange track strips and dozens of the purplish connectors.

One of my favorite toys was Skittles. This game was made out of wood with a maze of rooms in which sit a wooden pin. Depending on the location of the room, the points for each pin range from 10 to 50. The point of the game is you wrap your wooden top with string, put it in the gate and pull the string. You get points as the top bounces into the different rooms to knock the pin over. Rooms were large enough for the top to miss the pin. If you get a good grip on your string and pull hard, you can put that top into sonic spin and it basically lasts long enough to knock all the pins down. It also made a hell of a whizzing noise. This is not to be confused with Skittles. The game with 10 pins that you try to knock down by tossing a wooden ball tethered to a wooden pole in the middle (sort of like if bowling met tether ball and became table sized).

Natural selection at its finest

We had actual BALLS back in those days, which enabled us to play with those toys without the entire world collapsing. The modern world, full of non-heat-taking babies, cannot handle the toys we had. There were three lawn dart sets on my block as a kid. Every last one of us kids (about 18 in the neighborhood) are still alive. Crazy, huh?

[@flowerpower8722]

They would handle them if they still made them. You can still get good toys and meccano and lego are probably better than ever. Don't be bitter.

Ker plunk is what I do on Wednesnay,....the day after “Taco Tuesday” 🤣

[@michaelcancerfree]

Wish I still had my wood burning kit A new one is now $70

[@Camman010]

All you need to make one is a soldering iron, some wood and some carbon paper. Total cost is maybe $10.00 for the soldering iron. Also having a printer helps.

[@mareekatz]

Thanks for the memories ❤

[@thetaekwondoe3887]

Kudos to the kid knowing what the top was, even if he didn't know what it was called (he knew how to use it - a lot are just hand-spun, so I say that counts.) I'm an 80's child and my brother and I had several toys that had that ripcord feature, like the SSP car.

[@labbrockington7854]

Thank you so much dragstrip car was amazing I forgot how much fun we used to have with that and then mousetrap oh my we could play that all day it seem like it was always fun and that dart throwing games I remember that one the one with sticks and marbles was another favorite but couldn't play that around my sister that's probably where they got the word Ginga from for today's game.

[@bobvasquez1846]

I remember back in the 60,s the five and dime store use to sell a small hard plastic plane that was propelled by a thin small stick with a rubber band connected to it, you would stretch the rubber band back with the plane and let it go. I crack many windows with that toy.

[@meow2u22]

My brother had a Super Charger when I was a kid. We raced How Wheels cars on the track the Superchargers came it. Lotsa fun.

[@siggyretburns7523]

Jarts, natural selection hard at work.

[@grizztough4091]

JARTS was the BEST!!! Loved it.

[@dwilson2548]

Oh the lawn darts I remember them I had them and although no one got her playing with them I thought it was a great way to keep your friends and family amused at the barbecue and now looking back at it today would be a great way to take care of that pesky Karen neighbor in her backyard I also remember the click clacks little plastic balls that you tried to bounce up and down the sound they made was phenomenal the bruise they left on my arm 35 years ago I can still see great toys great times thanks for the video good memories.

[@williampalenik7306]

At least those darts/ Jarts would stick into the ground todays darts just bounce around and you can't hardly get them into the round circle to score a point

[@MissLinas]

Oh I remember all those toys. They were a blast! My brothers has the hot wheels and charger. And once in.a while they even let me play with them. I love the Ker-Plunk game. My Dad got us the darts game but I never thought they were dangerous. Huh! Obviously he did! Wishful thinking I guess. Sorry dad you lost and your kids are now adults now. 😂😂😂

[@JG-fe1gx]

I remember playing with the SSP cars in the gym when I was in 2nd grade. There was a rumor the custodian was mad we were marking up the floor, but he never said anything to us.

[@susanrollis2411]

I remember 90% of these toys! Hours of pure pleasure! The safety standards were different then.

[@daveh9335]

I remember melting the lead to pour into the mold to make the soldiers.

[@michellecaulkib9920]

I remember my brother melting led on the fire in the living room then dropped it on the carpet in the early 70s ho boy he was in big trouble x

[@walterheinen5298]

Bought a set of Jarts at an antique store last summer. 2nd time I’ve seen them. A classic. Went out in the yard to play and immediately had all the neighbors over.

[@AlleyPicked]

Nice! I heard that they are illegal to sell in the US. I bought mine at a garage sale.

[@Chronically_JBoo]

Clicked for the lawn darts and now I realize all the others your mentioned i also grew up playing with

[@351wmustanggt]

Played many a game of Jarts, would love to get my hands on a set now. I also had every one of the toys you mentioned here as a kid. Loved my SSPs and had a lot of top battles in my day.

[@jefffoster3557]

Born in 61, I just missed the SSP phase in early 70s, but just love these as an adult now! I have a collection of the dragsters, and those chrome colored ones! Wow! Love this and your other toy vids.

[@AlleyPicked]

Thanks for the feedback Jeff. There are more toy vids in the pipeline.

[@leewilson2010]

SSP are the best Went on eBay and bought a huge collection of them..

[@paulaneary7877]

SSP cars! Memory lane! Used to race them on the kitchen floor! After watching Luche Libre! and Roller Derby on Saturday of course!

[@katperson7332]

Who remembers Big Loader? Tipper Trucks going on tracks and stopping to empty and fill up with things. Can’t remember what though. Maybe plastic bricks or gravel.

[@kathyjohnson5097]

I had a super charger!!! And Mouse Trap. I had to buy Kerplunk for myself as an adult, it was one game my parents would never buy me.

[@JT-un7dc]

Had jarts & definitely saw one get jammed into someones leg. The hot wheels was one of my favorite toys. SSP cars, anyone remember the commercial?

[@bartschwartz7217]

Yup go to Kenner ssp on u tube
