This thread has had me going crazy trying to find a toy that I KNEW I had, and I KNEW wasn't a figment of my imagination... anybody remember Mr. Potatohead's friend Kooky???

WHO are the add wizards that came up with that one?!

Did anyone have this doll? She was my absolute FAVORITE!!!

Okay, THAT baby looks freaky. It has crossed eyes!

 

[Danvers]

Dang, this thing is freaky.

Holy cow, this was the Big Wheels bike that I had. I used to put rocks inside of it to make it sound like a "motorcycle". Man!

These are cool, too! They had a version of it in the Wendy's kids meal a month or so ago.

Anyone remember snorks?

What were the costumes kids dressed up as for halloween , they were plastic things that went on you head and then you painted you face, the ones I remember were purple and green. I think they might have been aliens.

I played with Sea Wees all the time! This particular Sea Wee was the only one I couldn't find!!

Anyone remember Husker Du??

Loved that game!

And that was when you still held the ring down with PINS!!! Toy safety sure has changed!

LOL! I posted another thread with popular audio and video from the 70's early 80's - remember "Time for timer"? The little yellow guy with a top hat and cane that danced around singing about food and snacks? Well the video that this website shows is him singing about making popcicles with toothpicks! How did we survive without shoving toothpicks down our throats???!! LOL!

Man oh man - the spirograph brought memories back of a great birthday when my mom and dad took me to the store in my brand new Surfer shirt, skirt that had a slip that you actually blew up to get the right amount of poof (!) and white Go Go boots (SOOO proud of these!) and got to buy a new Etch a Sketch, an Easy Bake oven and a blue "English" bicycle (that made the clicking sound when you rode it) - best birthday ever!
