These things bend and tangle so easily. I ended up buying the plastic ones and they are so much better

You buy this for your kid.

Ten minutes later: your child is already bored with this. It gets tossed in a toy bin where it stays for years.

Don't let your nostalgia fool your brain here.

Fair point. But if you can re-purpose it for something else, then it might be worth it!
For example, you can use it to protect your bird feeders from squirrels (see attached pic).

Or you grab a couple for child's Xmas party in kindergarten and watch the world burn.

These are a little short, they won't walk down stairs, alone or in pairs…. Transferring coils from hand to hand is enjoyable….

speaking of brains and fooling, The theme song immediately came to mind when I saw slinky in the title, but then I realized that it was actually the "Log" jingle in my head instead. Good marketing ruined by great parody

I'm getting this and a few "nostalgic" toys for my kiddos this year

But can anyone point me to the original Koosh ball?? Amazon seems to have a few, but they appear to be knockoffs or built way worse than in the 90s.
