You could play all kinds of great games by scrambling across the gym floor at school or in the street at home. The latter was not a good idea, though. Miller, K.

Retrieved from, https://www.one4all.com/argos-reveals-bestselling-toys-from-the-last-45-years-how-many-do-you-remember The design was simple. You would sit on this platform a few inches from the ground and grab onto the handles. Beneath that platform were four wheels that swivelled for easy turning as you propelled yourself across the floor using your legs.

While anyone could have seen the trouble that Lawn Darts would bring, not every toy was so obviously dangerous. Some toys required the right imagination or a penchant for the sort of danger that only a child would appreciate. We’re going to fondly examine some of the most dangerous 1990s toys so that we can collectively wonder: what were we thinking? The basic concept of this toy was that you would lay out this 40-foot-long piece of lubricated plastic, keep water flowing on it, get a running start, and jump and slide along until you hit the pool of water at the end. I know that some kids used shampoo, dish soap, or anything else they could get their hands on it to get a little extra speed. The Gym Scooters were the best thing to happen to gym class and the worst thing to happen to school kids’ fingers. I honestly feel sad for anyone that did not get the chance to play with these. It sure didn’t take too long for Milton Bradley to produce the greatest jingle of the 90s. Connect Four is one of those games that isn’t too exciting, but boy did this amazing jingle have us sold. Do they have an app yet? We’ll go for that. That’s not even counting the kids that got low-quality brands of the toy that had mystery fluid in the ball.

Aside from news stories or outright recalls, the mishaps involving toys were mostly chalked up to an individual child’s experience. This is the original version of Chili’s famous jingle, which would later on in 2002 be performed by N’Sync. Because, that’s a thing boy band’s do: sing catchy 90s commercial jingles. Wham-O’s Slip N’ Slides were introduced in the 1980s and hit their stride in the 1990s. At first glance, you’d have trouble figuring out how in the world this could be dangerous to someone. Add a little imagination, a bunch of misuses, and a lot of people that didn’t pay attention to the recommended age. Not only were these fun for the kids, but they would also give parents a few blessed minutes of silence as their kids spent more and more time under the water to collect them. It was supposed to work out for everyone. I can still hear that commercial in my head, though. More fun than a pillow fight. Yeah, sure. Yo-yo Water Balls Like flails, but softer

The Skip-It was a pretty simple concept. You slip the cuff over your ankle and spin the ball around while jumping over it. The 1990s models had a counter in the ball.
