Whichever decade you grew up in, you can’t help but feel an affinity towards it. It’s not like you had a choice in the matter, but if you grew up in the 80s then you are going to be loyal to hot pink scrunchies and trying to learn how to moonwalk. Luckily for me, I am a 90s girl, so I never had any inkling to learn how to moonwalk. All I want to do is sit down in front of the television, watch Full House whilst imagining a new life for my Polly Pocket. We just can’t help being nostalgic for that period of time in our lives, and toys are just the things to transport us back in time. Gen Z will never know the pure joy that comes from playing with the most advanced, colorful, yet simple toys to ever exist. Whenever you come across different memorabilia from your childhood, it takes you back to a simpler time. So whether you are a 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s kid, it’s time to feel nostalgic for all those battery-operated toys that once filled your life with meaning. Just remember, *batteries not included.
Water Pressure, or Blood Pressure?
If you have ever played with this toy, just looking at it will make your heart beat a million beats a minute. The toymaker TOMY famous for the creation of many toys brought this gem into existence in the 1970s. Even though this was created years before, different versions of this wonderful water toy can be found in stores today.
This little contraption caused many frustrating outbursts from kids all over the world, and for good reason. Trying to get the little plastic rings submerged onto the spikes is no easy feat, especially when you have to fight against the water pressure. We can’t help but feel like we need to play with one of these to remind us of the simpler things in life.
