More Weird Toys from the Past

Wednesday, August 18, 2010



Remember koosh balls? Those soft, kinda smelly rubberband balls that were all the rage back in the day? What was up with that?! I remember really wanting one of the giant koosh balls. I was thinking about this the other day because everyone around here is wearing silly bands....another rubber band craze that someone is making millions off of. My husband likes to joke that he has a basketball silly band.

Silly bands cannot compare to the somewhat more dangerous and awesome slap bracelets.


I remember these being banned from school. I had two and they were awesome. I am surprised that they are still for sale. You can even order custom ones. That would be a cute wedding favor for a couple of a certain age.
