Probably banned for kids now because someone determined it would damage their ego or something. I always say the era of good toys ended when Tonka started making plastic vehicles. Somehow LEGO still got through the purging, barely. How a destroyer of feet still exists in today's fragile world is perplexing.
Ok grandpa.
Yeah, I'm old. I also had better toys than kids these days, and they don't even realize it.
Do you honestly think that’s because all the older toys got banned and not largely because toy companies sell whatever makes them the most money?
You played with toys as a kid? Back in my day kids worked. You little pansy
You had better toys because y’all’s generations sacrificed your children at the altar of capitalism.
Nah, Gen-X here. That's our parents and grandparents, brainwashed into the cult of Edward Bernays. The place was already doomed long before we got here.
Bad troll is bad. And sad.
Pretty terrible trolling actually, as it was just a side comment on the slide into acceptance of crap by the masses. If it was trolling because it wasn't funny, then so be it, but that's been a long tradition of humor forums to have commentary that is serious, not funny. I did upset some people, so if that's the bar for trolling, then sure...
But toys were better back then. No one has dismissed that claim, because they know it's true. Sorry.
I'm not reading that. Piss off already.
Groan Tube!!
I like how the post in the screenshot is the first result if you search for "noisy stick"
This comment field taught me the name. I knew immediately the toy he meant, but I never knew the name. However, his spelling was one letter away from me calling it a dvorak-stick.
It would giggle when you shook it!
