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...
😰
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!
@Sheree @Cosmichomicide @Heucuva8
- Oh, yeah!!! Had those too! 🤣
We also had JARTS one summer 😳
@Studio_M_ @Cosmichomicide @Heucuva8 Those Jarts tho... military grade mischief disguised as wholesome family fun!
They're illegal now in the U.S., but we had Jarts as well.
Between that, and learning games like Mumblety-peg...
Well, it's a wonder we didn't die.
