Creepy crawlers and that other thing that was plastic that you baked (plastic fantastic?) and also the stuff that cam in a tube with a straw that you blew up
-- all had SUCH distinct smells.

We just got the kid some for her bday last year, Hammy.
They were all sat around blowing those huge balloons looking like they were smoking crack. Remember the contact high? Yikes. |

With the real METAL oven bakey thing, that actually got HOT!! Yup, you could burn yourself pretty good!! Boy was I dissapointed when I went and bought my kids a set a couple yrs ago and it was all that plastic w/ lightbulb crap! Where's the fun in that? OK, I'll get my walker and go now... |

The Jart conversations from SS circa '01 can not be beat for funny.

We got it at WalMart in the party supply section, Hammy. Walmart or Target I can't remember for sure now.
They sell Shrinky Dinks at Craft stores still also, along with that horrible fake stained glass shit. |

"Besides the obvious potential for messes when letting children play with liquid plastic, the substance also emitted noxious fumes. The fumes could become
concentrated inside the straw, so users had to be careful never to inhale through the straw while inflating their balloons. Because of these problems, Super
Elastic Bubble Plastic was eventually taken off the market. Other similar brands remain available in certain countries, such as Malaysia, Mexico, and
Germany."
German kids get all the good shit. |
