Thanks for bringing that one back, Michael.

Had one, too, Peter. I loved this toy. Forgot all about it. Also had a set that made bridges.

That roll of caps also fit a dart grenade I had. The clank of it hitting the floor was louder than the cap going off.

Can't believe they still sell these. Saw this one on Amazon. I had a red one as a kid in the early 70s.

I don't think there was a kid in my town that didnt have at least one.

Silly putty!

For this, my dad had a piece of tape that marked channels 2, 4, 5, and 13. All else fails, go outside and twist the pole by hand.

Can you name it?
Not only can I name it, but I owned a few of them.

Yup.
I remember their short stint in American fashion but don't recall having one. Now, priest collar shirts? Had a bunch.

I refrained from naming it because Carlos gave me a bunch of crap last time I chimed in

I remember having this one, along with the Lone Ranger, and so, so many more at the time.

Looking back, what a stupid concept, yet so popular. I played for hours with this crap placing them, peeling them, placing them again and so on.

However, the very best part was the smell. Anyone remember that unique scent it had?

Oh, and name it.

It's just sad how well those two words compliment each other.
Old farts.
