Incredibly Dangerous Toys from the Past?

Incredibly Dangerous Toys from the Past!

Yeah, I'm left speechless alright. Primarily by these modern day helicopter parents who'd wrap their kids in a protective bubble and not release them until they turn 21 and have kids of their own. Pathetic!

Lol! I loved pretty much anything Wham-O. I also loved my Mattel Thing Maker. I made hundreds of those and especially enjoyed sniffing the toxic smells. How did we ever survive?  :)

Haha, fun vid. I had several of those toys but the only one that ever injured me was the "Water Wiggle" at 11:49.
Their goofy plastic heads tended to detach and then you had this bare metal nozzle thrashing around. I came away
with a fat lip one afternoon and thereafter switched to Wham-O's "Slip 'n Slide" for my summer fun.

Doh!

We had the old school Jarts with the full metal tips when I was a kid! Time to bring those back and thin the herd a bit...

These are the toys listed in the video:

Pressman Witch Dr. Head Shrinkers Kit



The silly twat who made the video doesn't even claim that this one's dangerous. She's just repelled by the idea like your prototypical hysterical female.

Wham-O Air Blaster

Frisbee Super Elastic Bubble Plastic

Wham-O Wheelie Bar


What was dangerous was doing wheelies on your bike without wheelie bars. I went right over on my back on the road one time and let me tell you I was in agony! I'm still surprised I wasn't injured.

Mattel Creepy Crawlers Thingmaker



A much beloved all-time classic toy and all that occurs to her is that it's "dangerous"? What a twit.

Deluxe Reading Johnny Seven O.M.A.



The best selling boys' toy of 1964 and still coveted by every toy enthusiast but she's horrified. To describe her attitude as "silly" is too kind.

Kenner's Easy Bake Oven



Every little girl's delight and still a much beloved all-time classic toy yet she condemns it? What a twit.

Transogram Swing Wing

Topper Sixfinger

Wham-O Water Wiggle

Lunkenstein mentioned ...toxic smells. Oh how I Loved to open my troll cave house...pretty much anything plastic...and smell that plasticky smell! Hey..I was a kid. What did I know?  :)  ha ha!  Alas, my troll cave is long gone...but I still have my troll pony and blue Moon Goon troll!...oh and my two Mattel dragons I created from a kit similar to Creepy Crawlers.

I always get a warm sense of satisfaction from the smell of styrene plastic model kits, styrene plastic cement/glue and enamel paints because I'm so strongly reminded of the excitement I felt as a kid admiring and coveting these kits on store shelves and the delight I got assembling them when I actually managed to acquire one.

And somehow we all survived all these "dangerous" toys!  :)
