Help me remember a toy. I was born in 1986 so I probably saw this toy on TV between 1993 and 1998. It was a two-play toy. You and the other person stood about 20 feet apart from each other. Each of you held a pair of handle/grips attached to a wire/cable. There was a football shaped item with a hollow core, and the wire/cable ran through the core. When you pulled your hands apart, the football would go flying on the cable toward the other person, and they would do the same to propel it back to you.

The gently caress was it called? Zoomball? Zoom smash? Smash zoom ball?

It's a loving autism treatment toy.

My parents thought I was autistic?

Why is the packaging trying to make everything sound less than lethal? That's clearly a rocket, not a Blood Sample Missile, haha.

I was at Toys r us the other week looking for Christmas ideas and I got a massive nostalgia wave when I saw this on one of the shelves:



I loved how smooth those little plastic worms were.

Something about this is really grossing me out. I'm picturing the worms streeeetching out real long when you tug on 'em before they finally pop out.

Congratulations! You have trypophobia!

Go ahead and google it. I'll wait.

Gah! Jesus. Some people don't think this stuff is gross? It's a rarity to be bothered by a lotus pod full of bugs?
