Toys have really changed since I was a kid lol

[@nerdecrafter]

They’ve gotten unhinged 😆 nice to see you here

[@Hopischwopi]

Depending on your age not the bubbles though 😂. But toys do get better (generally, not counting the cheaply made stuff 👀).

40 years ago when I was at college training to be an Occupational Therapist, as part of the course we learned woodworking for 2 years. One of our projects was to make a Jacob's Ladder. It is a very ancient toy. The first documented description of a Jacob's Ladder dates to the 1880s in a journal called Scientific American. It was quite amusing to me to see your surprise and entertainment with it Jackie :). I've been watching your videos for quite a few years now. Thanks for all the work you do!

[@charliemayfilms1550]

1880s is hardly "ancient" thats less than 200 years

[@nehamaw]

Ooooh how do u make it?!

[@henrypoopface1503]

[@ladylarry75]

@@charliemayfilms1550 according to google they are indeed ancient, Google: "is a one of the most ancient and famous of folk toys. Legend has it that one was found in King Tut's tomb, which means these fascinating toys were played with in Egypt before 1352 B.C"

[@mapelianbutton4954]

I used to play the bubble paste when I was a kid. I would wrap the paste straight around the end of the straw then blow it until it's big and almost translucent, you can't stop blowing until it's almost stretched out. If it's too stretched out, you won't be able to close the bubble properly. I have never seen a magnificent bubble that big before

[@franziskamrak2417]

Same that was really fun and I blew gigantic bubbles.

[@pedanticm]

I had a Jacob's Ladder toy when I was a kid...it's how the blocks are wrapped. Pay close attention to the ribbons when they flip. These are older than any of us! lol

[@katdifferent768]

I have a Jacobs latter, I still play with it and it was the only fight for the longest time that actually worked for me. Glad someone else knows about it

[@itsnotkaylee]

I love Jacob’s ladder toys!! I have so much variations of them

[@gwendolynklwrnce]

We used to make these in summer camps

[@eugenie8661]

When I was a kid, my mom had a little pen case that opened and flipped around like that. I played with that thing so much! It was so smooth and cool

[@luuuscarlet]

I got one when at my younger days… But it was so good until the one or the ribbon just snapped 😂 But I got so nostalgic moment when I see that again

[@Samantha-qj9wq]

B-Loonies!!!! (The goo-bubbles that you blow up with the straw) those were SUCH an obsession of mine growing up!!

[@thumbsarehandy.]

Yes! They smelled horrendous, like toxic chemicals. I'm glad they have improved in the last 20+ years!

[@tamarapeterson1844]

And the SMELL...oh my God.

[@itspixel2841]

​@@thumbsarehandy. Well the ones Jackie used were from England, which has a lot more regulations than the US does, so they're probably using some different (and less smelly) ingredients

[@newew15]

I remember those too. They smelled so bad

Yes we have this too in france when I was a kid and my siblings and I loved it

[@lcoq19]

Magnificent Bubbles has been sold for decades in the US under the name "Bloonies" but usually in tinier tubes with straws that are the size of a lollipop stick. You can get them for $1 at most dollar stores. They smell like chemicals and are a right of passage for kids in the US. 😂 Because of the smaller straws though, you rarely get a successful bubble though.

[@elliotcoopershelton]

Sup

[@emilys384]

Loved the dollar store ones so much growing up! The chemical smell was so strong! The dollar stores near me used to also sale the sticky bubbles.

[@maltedcrow]

Her saying that it just smelt like soap was so wild to me because I was expecting her to comment on them smelling like liquid cement! So wild that Magnificent Bubbles doesn't have the same intense chemical smell.

[@Yoyo_cruz]

aahhh.. I didn't read comments first.. I just left a comment about this magnificent bubbles in the 80s lol.. I just didn't remember the name..

[@beesgood]

One year when I was getting my bachelor's degree I found the magic bubbles during finals week and it was the most unhinged experience I had in college. Literally everyone I showed or let use found it to be the funniest thing ever. So many giggling young adults.

[@Dalmatianbee]

I have heard of the Jacob's Ladder but didn't know of it being a "fidget toy."

[@603wright2]

😂😂😂😂

[@africanwilddog6685]

yeah most of these except the pop it cube shouldn’t be considered fidget toys, they’re just toys lol

[@bumblybee8967]

Same here! Lol

[@Mary-le1mh]

In the 70's and 80's we had something like the magnificent bubble.

[@SandraWeierman]

I was going to say that. I remember it having a weird caustic plasticky smell and was hard to blow any bubbles.

[@nerdycurls6253]

Still existed in the 90- early 2000s, I also remember them when I was in school.

[@Mary-le1mh]

I love the thumb lights. The skin tone could be better. XD

[@ivygarcia6878]

Omg! So many memories unlocked with that Jacob's Ladder! I used to have one as a little grain and I LOVED playing with it! It was so fun to mindlessly flip it as I watched tv or something and just listen to the sound it would make

[@glassdiamond2185]

They had magnificent bubbles decades ago when i was a kid. Can't remember what they were called, though. Several different colors came in one tube.

[@haileymorris174]

Jacobs ladder was all over the place when I was a kid. I remember commercials for the bubble one and I wanted it

[@CooperGal24]

Those bubbles, aren't the kind that are "Toxic"? I remembered reading the warning labels about them! The "Magnificent Bubbles" I mean, not the test tube bubbles, those are okay! I'm saying that if something's "Toxic", why sell it? Especially to kids? And Marvin's Magic! Boy does that bring back memories! At least whenever the infomercials for them were on! But the FINGERS! Oh god! Give that to someone and prank them for a joke! XD It gave Jackie a little jumpscare!

I have owned and loved a Jacob's Ladder before. It eventually broke but I have good memories. I've had something like the lights that worked the same way but they were not thumb shaped.

I'm almost 70 and we played with them as kids. Ours were smaller.

[@trishhamilton2049]

Ok this is THE BEST you are rating toys I played with as a kid and I love your natural wonder of it all. Jacobs Ladder has been around longer than I. The magic bubbles are my childhood and the wonder bubbles are my daughters. I was curious does the straw blown bubbles not smell like harsh chemicals anymore?? I loved those and the snappy pop you get smashing them.

[@spencertilly]

😆 the magic light was so entertaining!

[@RenaeC86]

I work with kids and have found for my own sanity that with toys that have sound that you can’t turn off, if you cover the speaker completely with masking tape or duct tape it softens the noise to more bearable levels 😂😂 the more/thicker tape you use the more it quietens it

[@AlexandriaWhitney_]

Most of these are toys you could win at arcades in the 90’s. Oh the nostalgia

[@derpnugget4286]

Jacob's ladder has been around forever. My grandparents had one I played with as a kid in the 90s. They'd had it for a while too.

[@ddzgrlcollections8190]

Sorry not sorry but I totally got the biggest kick out of the thumb lights🤣🤣 love you Jackie you always can make me laugh!

[@Zardox2]

*Edit: Super ELASTIC Bubble Plastic... and looking at the vintage ads, it is the exact same thing. Maybe we had difficulty because we tried to "re-blow" the bubbles... it was a loooong time ago, so forgive my fuzzy memory. 😂 The second bubble toy... Reminds me of a product from the 70s called, "Super Fantastic Bubble Plastic". But the goop/plastic was thicker, and you would nearly pass out trying to blow it up into a ball. BUT they advertised that you could play with the ball - kinda like you would with a beach ball. That product died kinda quickly, so I don't even know if any vintage ads remain, but I might look it up later. 😁👍

[@ooshiikurai]

I got my first Jacob’s Ladder when I was a kid visiting an Amish adjacent town. And then I ended up making my own for my school’s Pioneer Day. Iunno, I always thought they were pretty common. Definitely entertaining to a kid on a long car trip tho.

[@jodiedavis7623]

The thumb lights were great!

[@Taracinablue]

I have glorious childhood memories of the touchabubbles--especially because my house has an indoor second-story window to the kitchen, and that gives the bubbles plenty of time to become touchable. We stacked them on our fingers, etc. Turning on the ceiling fan is a mistake, lol. The bubble "ghosts" will last indefinitely! It's very funny to me that you thought the Jacob's Ladder was unique and creative because that's an antique toy--google says from the 1800s. I mean, I suppose it was unique and creative over 200 years ago =)

[@Tania-CherieMical]

This vid Jackie, is so funny and entertaining. I had to come back for a second view. I still laughed along with you. Hugs from New Zealand

When we had that goo and straw stuff wayyyyyyyy back in the day. It smelled like gasoline/acetone and we still loved to blow those toxic bubbles smh

[@solunasassoon]

Those bubbles that hang out is 1/2 corn syrup 1/2 soap.

[@EvilBlackCat]

When I was a kid in the 80s we had Super Elastic Bubble Plastic which is like those magnificent bubble things with the tube. However back then they were made with materials that created noxious fumes and could be dangerous when inhaled through the straw. I remember they stank SO MUCH. I was surprised to see them around again but since you said it smelled like soap I'm guessing it's made from something different now.

[@IslaMadelin]

Omg Jacob’s ladder a classic

[@Justaroundtheriverbend]

Fellow adhder and I believe that we are the same age Jackie, I can’t believe you’ve never experienced the magic of a Jacob’s ladder. As a little undiagnosed grain I loved my Jacob’s ladder!

[@brandonp5846]

I think you're supposed to spread the magnificent balloon stuff while you're blowing it up to make the bubble bigger not after its pinched off the straw. It takes some practice but I still love the magnificent balloons! 😊

Those touchable bubbles just unlocked a looot of memories in my childhood haha! I loved playing with them, but don't get it in your hair.. the sticky residue, can really cluster a lot!

[@indrahx5905]

The Magnificent Bubbles... such a wonderful childhood memory! I remember the smell and all. You can make several and stick them together! Thanks for the reminder, I will order them for my nieces. :)

[@sugarsick]

Those touchable bubbles come with catnip for your pets and they just made the whole house sticky, so be careful😂 but also if your cats like bubbles you should find the catnip ones and try them.

[@michelleford405]

Omg the straw and goop/bubble was around a LONG time ago!

[@pie55255]

Fun fact: cloud slime is effectively an underdeveloped slime plus a lot of cannetic sand so that's probably why you enjoy it so much. Also Jacobs ladder relise on the ribbons you see going throughout the toy in order to keep them all together. You flipping one causes to ribbon to "fix it" flipping each subsequent block. Without them being sturdy wooden blocks with a decent weight, it wouldn't work correctly!

[@Aleighascoolchanel]

24:41 that is what is commonly known as a cloud dough slime

The magnificent bubbles are the cheap stuff I used to play with as a kid, but each tube was way smaller and the tube is a tiny plastic straw (like the disposable, soft plastic drinking straw type but tiny) The buttons reflex game I see a ton of in local stores selling Chinese goods. It’s interesting to see how items are packaged differently and sold in other places. Jacob’s ladder too is like a cheap but clever toy that’s been around for ages.
