If not mistaken, the cardboard boxes toys come in is always the best toy. This is true.

By far, the coolest toy I ever had was a pile of dirt

In the mid 60s, my father had a truckload of topsoil dumped in our backyard. That dirt pile was there for most of the summer. It made an unbelievable place to play with your Tonka Trucks building roads, tunnels, rivers all over the huge pile. It was a great platform for King of the Hill. Made some great dirtbombs. We made a cool fort at the top

My backyard was the place to be that summer. All the kids in the neighborhood flocked there

We enjoyed the dirt hills for riding bikes..

If a Slinky was your favor toy I think it's safe to say you didn't go on study physics or molecular research. Earliest favorite was probably Lincoln Logs, you build log cabin stuff. The we had a train set that we were only allowed to set up maybe twice a year. Then the HO sized mini race cars that flew off the track if you tried any speed at all, which was tough since they were parked or going full throttle. It was like riding broncos, success was measured in seconds.

I think I liked the toys my siblings had more than me. Another one my brother had that was fun!

Andy Dalton is the QB for the Cincinnati Bengals. They call him the "Red Rifle"
JJ Watt plays for the Houston Texans (defense) and said he was more like the "Red Ryder BB Gun"

That toy looked cool in the toy catalogue. But it took about a month to get rocks that looked like the picture. We would open it up after about five minutes and ask....What is taking so long?

Slinky was cool out of the box but only seemed to last about a day or too before it got all tangled
Lincoln logs were cool and you could build some neat houses and forts to play with your plastic cowboys and indians

Worst toy ever....Electric Football
Took a couple minutes to set up your men and once you flipped the switch they ran around in circles

You must take good care of your Slinky!

My oldest did.... my youngest mangled his .....

It's a tradition, I buy the one every year... even now that they are grown

Considering the names offered I gotta go with Erector Set and Bop It because they just sound like they go together in a naughty sort of way.

In the whole of history, I'd think the all-time favorite toy was the dildo. Goes back at least 30k years.

"The world's oldest known dildo is a siltstone 20-centimeter phallus from the Upper Palaeolithic period 30,000 years ago that was found in Hohle Fels Cave near Ulm, Germany."
