Hey #CoSo, what's the most dangerous toy you owned as a kid?
Most dangerous toy I owned? Probably either the Jarts (lawn darts), or Moon Shoes. The chemistry set and gas powered pogo stick weren't really safe either. Come to think of it, were our parents TRYING to kill us? π€
Jacks are basically caltrops, bb guns are actual weapons, and let's not forget about board games like Crossfire...

Oh, my dad loved dangerous toys. We had BB guns, chemistry sets, go carts, zip lines, water slides, Creepy Crawlers, wire flowers you dipped in molten film...
- Hahaha! I got that EXACT set for
Christmas in like 1965!!!

I had that baby fired up
& making creepy crawlers before 0700 hrs!!! The smell pretty much
got everyone else out of bed!!
@Studio_M_ @Cosmichomicide @Heucuva8 Loved making Creepy Crawlers! Most dangerous toy for me were those Click-Clacks - two heavy hard plastic balls on cords that you waved around. I was black & blue everywhere!

I have always wonder how toxic heated plastigoop was. π
@realDDGlover @Studio_M_ @Cosmichomicide @Heucuva8 That never occurred to me! I must have absorbed a ton of that stuff through my fingers.

And remember there was a creepy crawlers edible version? Thank goodness we didnβt have it but friends did. Tasted cinnamon like.

They had different flavors, I remember liking the grape and being disappointed with the cherry.
It was a do-it-yourself gummy kit. Ahead of its time.

Flavored plastic! ππ

Say what you like, but having to fill a mold from a squirt bottle, bake it for fifteen minutes, and then let it cool will slow down your candy consumption.
I was a big Vac-u-Form fan.
McFate, you make a very good point. I kinda wish that's how I had gotten my sugar as a child. Might've made me more healthy and fit than I am today. A little bit, anyway.
