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? 🤔
Jacks are basically caltrops, bb guns are actual weapons, and let's not forget about board games like Crossfire...
😰
@Heucuva8 I had a chemistry set and a set of very real, very sharp, kids' woodworking tools. It had saws, chizels, a planer and several screwdrivers. I still have one of the screwdrivers!
Ooh. I forgot about that. It had the foam packaging with slots for everything and the hard case to hold it all.
The guy that sharpened them REALLY took their job seriously... 🤕
@Heucuva8 Mine was in a fitted wood case and all the handles were made of wood too. It must have cost my parents an arm and a leg at the time. I never really appreciated it as much as I should have.
@stueytheround @Heucuva8 I had a toolbox just like that.
@stueytheround @Heucuva8 That is exactly what I had. Even the correct color. That plane was sharp as hell.
@John_Ripley Yep! I'd have been maybe 7 or 8 years old at the time! @Heucuva8

My brother had a bb gun. We also had bows and arrows. I think the ends were blunted ends or something, but we definitely shot at each other with them.
Also had a Jr. Magic Chef oven that actually was hot enough to bake little cakes and cookies.
@DianeH @stueytheround @John_Ripley @Heucuva8 I wanted an Easy Bake Oven in the worst way but my mom refused. She said they didn’t work. So at 8 I starts baking with the real oven. Started out with cake mixes and worked my way up to cookies by 10.
