I loved candy cigarettes, and never started smoking. I especially liked the bubble gum version because the powdered sugar between the paper wrapper and the gum would come out like smoke when blown into. I’m old as dirt.🙄🤪
When I was in middle school, I had to stay at the Boys and Girls Club after school program until i got picked up. A couple days a week, there was a candy truck that came by and those were a really popular candy, for very obvious reasons.
I remember those as a kid. They even came in packaging that looked like America cigarettes of the era. This made them 'extra" special for we kids living in Canada where I grew up 🤣🤣🤣
@@shadynasty8729 wow ( I didn't mean to offend when i said you're kidding) I asked why because I suspected a interesting back story. Than you for your reply:)
Yep!, Yep!, Yep!!! Those things can hurt "like-the-dickens" and cause you trip, stumble, fall, spill and drop just about anything your carrying and say a whole lot of "unkind" words at the top of your voice!!!
Played with lawn darts, nearly burned by EZ baked oven, face planted more than once off a skateboard (no helmet of course), pogo ball nearly broke my ankles... Ah, being a kid in the early 80's.
Wait! What about the little mini magnetic balls? If you swallow them (happened), the magnets stuck on either side of the intestinal tract causing an obstruction or a perforation. Yes, they were that strong
Old playground equipment, ahhh- I grew up with these, granted I came away with scuffs, bruises and 10 layers of skin ripped off from the hot slide, but at least I didn't come away being a Wuse.
Hell, I lost a fingernail on a backyard slide when I was 5 or 6, ripped it right off when it caught on one of the screws. Also fell on the school playground multiple times; got thrown off the merry-go-round, thrown off the "Witches Hat", and had to get 4 stitches in my forehead once when we were playing on a disassembled "horse on a ladder" that was left lying at the edge of the playground. It's true, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger!
It’s called COMMON SENSE! I grew up with candy cigarettes...guess what...I DO NOT SMOKE! Kids will smoke by following their PARENTS OR PEERS! Stop being a WOOSE! Played with Jarts...no more harmful than HORSESHOES! WOOSE! BAN COINS, they can be swallowed! OMG, ban peas!!! My niece stuck one up her nose!!!

Ditto. And after I learned how to use them just right, I got a few that totally shattered in every direction hitting every wall and the ceiling. They were fun though.
We had toys in the '70s that would be considered deathtraps today, and do you know how many kids got hurt then as compared to how many get hurt now? Quite a bit fewer, if any, because we were supervised while we played with any of these "dangerous" toys. And our parents were just as busy as today's parents are, if not more so. Not only did they work 40+ hours a week, they also didn't have conveniences like microwave ovens, computers, etc. It just makes me so mad to hear about all of these lawsuits against toy companies because a child got hurt playing with a toy incorrectly. The parents should step up and take responsibility for what happened because they weren't watching their kids, instead of throwing it all on someone else.
I was born in '62. My parents didn't supervise jack didly squat. Maybe you were, but I think to generalize that kids got more supervision those days I think is off base.
My cousin had Jarts and would always throw them at me. Then he started throwing them at passing cars. His dad quickly took them away from him. Smart move Uncle Jim!
I can't count the number of times I've had to climb on the roof to pull em out of the shingles, I never threw em at cars but there's been times me and my brother along with friends would have a "contest" to see who was the bravest. We would take turns standing there while the others were throwing the darts in the air, the winner was the person who didn't move while the darts were sticking in the ground next to him. Looking back, I'm not sure how I made it to adulthood. Ain't no telling how many ppl ended up with em stuck in their heads or even feet.
YEP! We used to shoot Carbide Canons while playing Army and almost every kid had a Sling Shot and a Scout Knife. We had a "Sportsman Club" in school where we brought our .22 Rifles and Shotguns to school to teach Gun Safety. It wasn't uncommon either for a student to have a Rifle or Shotgun in a locker to go Hunting after school. Guess what? No one Ever Got Shot or Killed! Also some girls did the same, but not all. As a matter of fact when we fought no one Ever thought of using a Gun or Knife because it was thought as a Cowardly Act! Another No No was if a Boy hit a Girl the whole school would kick their behind. Boys had an unspoken rule to protect Any and All Girls no matter who or what they were. I could go on, but Thanks for a Trip down Memory Lane.
Ah yes because enjoyment has very strict boundaries and can only be fun if it meets a strict criteria WHERES THE FUN IN THAT?!!! Also just a thought but maybe if you boomers were more careful with your spawns we wouldn’t be here. Just saying.
This just goes to show how incredibly hyper-sensitive we’ve become to the freedom of kids. And we wonder why so many grow up with anxiety and debilitating fears.
The only "toy" I ever got hurt by was a bicycle. My mom said she held my bones together with Band-Aids. We didn't have helmets or pads back then. And gravel in the knee HURTS.
Hell yeahhhh it does !! Gravel hurts like shit...i remember a time when i was like 13 im 28 now anyway I was riding a razor scooter on a freshly paved street and my friend had one of those plastic skateboard/bike ramps an so i procceded to use the ramp....the problem wasnt the ramp or the scooter it was the issue of the road not being smooth at all it had the tecture of stucco roofing...you can imagine what happened nxt.

I had so many dangerous toys in the 80's. Lawn darts, toy car kit that melted wax in a smelting pot that you tipped into a cast, that stupid ball Pogo stick thing, and the underrated foot pain Legos bring. Lots more I can't remember.. I did get candy cigarettes but I've never smoked so...
Just bad parents being bad parents, make a video about those segway shoes you mentioned, would be more entertaining than helicopter parents screaming about how dangerous the world can be if they abandon their screaming little horrors in a toy store without supervision.
I still have the Cabbage Patch doll that eats food. I would watch when my child who is older play through with it. But it's packed away and someday maybe it'll be worth some money
Toddlers can and WILL put anything, and everything in their mouths.They do not stop and weigh their options. No parent can watch the children every second. What parents CAN do is think ahead about some of these toys, as the manufacturers should.
@@christelheadington1136 nope still lazy parents. Parents should keep an eye on them when young until the parent can teach their child not to do certain things. If a child is still putting things in their mouth then they need lots of parental attention. Your child should hear "No" a lot until YOU teach them right and wrong. Do not be a lazy parent!
The law where I live about putting appliances out for the junkman, recycling, or just out in your yard, is you have to either chain it shut or completely remove the door.
The fairie dancer wasn't hitting kids- it was landing in FIREPLACES, and kids tryed to grab their toys from the burning embers! Geeez- think like a kid! A little toy hitting you ain't gonna HURT, but, WATCHING. YOUR BRAND NEW BEAUTIFUL FAIRY land in FIRE, is DEVASTATING!
I think smoking being promoted by Doctors (around the 50’s - 60’s they used Doctors in their advertisements) would have had more of an influence on people than lollies. Yes we call candy lollies in Australia.
I had a Skydancer when I was little. I was never injured by it, even though it did land on me several times. When they were recalled, my parents took it away, and I was very upset!
What about Erector sets?They had all of those bolts and nuts. Wasn't there a lot of chemical sets that had uranium and other hazardous chemicals in them?
The uranium was in the Atomic Chemistry Lab back in the 40's or 50's. The thing is, we have laws about putting the appropriate ages for the toys on the packaging now. A lot of the problems come from parents not paying attention to them. Like Erector sets, they aren't for kids still young enough to put things like nuts and bolts in their mouth.
Playgrounds at my old elementary school after the playground handbook came out my old Elementary school removed all playground equipment leaving nothing but grass an open field nothing is left there for the kids play on
#8 Was the Bat Masterson Kit Derringer. It did not jam or cause fires. It used what was an innovative Cap at the time a Greenie Stickum Cap. It came with a Cane that fired the cap and a Derby Hat that could be thrown like a Frisbee and with Caps stuck to it Banged when hitting a hard surface.
"Sky Dancers" has one of the saddest, but funniest meme video with the little girl that sets hers off and it flies right into the burning fireplace!! Sad for the little girl, but hopefully she got a quick replacement!
When I was 18, I wanted a hoverboard more than anything for Christmas. I thought I'd ride it all the time. I got what I wanted, it cost my dad $500 for an unbranded generic one, and I haven't used it since Jan 5th 2016. I got up early that morning for a job orientation at Walmart. Having just turned 19 Dec 31st, 2015, it was gonna be my first job. I didn't have to leave for a couple hours, so I thought I'd take the hoverboard out and practice on the sidewalk. You know how sidewalks dip for driveways, crosswalks, wheelchair access, etc? Well, I was sleepy inching towards the one at the end of my driveway, wanting to take it slow. Next thing I know, I'm laying on the pavement with a huge bump on the back of my head, easily cupped by my hand, between the sizes of a golf ball and a baseball. I picked myself up, but my body felt heavy, almost numb even. I couldn't remember why I was up so early, so I wandered into the road to retrieve my hoverboard. Thankfully, someone saw me fall whole driving by and stopped, so there was no risk of anyone hitting me. They asked from their car if I was alright, and I just waved them off while hugging the board to my chest, saying I was fine. I was not fine. On my way back inside, I was rattling off the list of concussion symptoms to myself, thankful that I actually paid attention in health class. I was tired, forgot I had orientation, my head hurt... Yup, definitely concussed. I went inside, went upstairs, dropped off the hoverboard in my room, then went to wake up my parents. My mom is notoriously hard to wake up, but when I took her hand and put it on the bump, it was like watching on a light. 😆 She instantly went from half awake to ready to take me to the hospital! I went back to my room and went back to bed, knowing I'd be fine. I woke up in a hospital bed. My mom said I was asleep for maybe 4hrs. I threw up a couple times. I was also told I threw up in my sleep. I was so out of it, everything hurt... But I was discharged not long after waking up. They had to wheel me out in a chair, since I was still shaky on my feet. I later found out that my dad had called Walmart to let them know, and my orientation was rescheduled to 2 weeks later. I had no lasting memory problems or detectable brain damage. Even remembered Walmart not long after waking up. Moral of the story: Wear a fucking helmet.
off the top of my head, those flying spinning barbie dolls, the old chemistry sets with hazardous chemicals, easy bake ovens, lawn darts, toys that had lead paint.
Old playgrounds reminded me of my playground injury. I was on the old school ride that swung you in a circle until you got dizzy. Well a friend decided to get it started and I fell backward got my head drug through gravel. I had to go to the nurses station because I had gravel embedded in the back of my head. I’m glad playgrounds are safer but still we had too much fun even with the injuries.
One of the main issues with these products causing injuries is parents not watching over their children. Far too many classic toys have been re-designed (poorly, I might add) due to parents not watching their rambunctious children who then get injured for playing with/around said toys too rough, and suing manufacturers (and then tragically winning said lawsuits, promoting bad parenting).
I’m amazed I am still alive. I wasn’t very smart as a kid but then my parents also supplied me with a number of dangerous toys, including the moon boots, Jarts, Thingmakers (Which had you cooking bizarre plastic chemicals on a table top stove) and a number of guns that shot tiny darts. But the most dangerous one that I ever encountered was Tinker Toys. Do you remember the little wooden sticks that used to circular wooden wheels to connect together? Well, my version came in a thick cardboard tube with a screw-on lid made of metal. Sometimes that lid was rather difficult to open, especially to a five-year-old like me. For whatever reason, I had put the lid back on to the tube but still had all of the play sticks out of the can. I could not unscrew that stupid lid so I got the bright idea of trying to pry the lid off by using one of the sticks as a pry bar. It worked-the lid came off with a loud clang, but the stick continued to shoot upward into my right eye. My mother, hearing the noise told me it was time to pick up my toys, and then came running when she heard me screaming. There was no blood, and only a bruise, but I could not open the eye for several hours. She didn’t even need to take me to the doctor, but rather put a gauze patch over my eye. The next morning the patch came off and I was good as new and lucky to still have both eyes. I guess I could say it wasn’t so much the Tinker Toy that was the danger but the container itself, at least when it came to inventive children using imaginative ways to open containers.
The most dangerous toy my sister owned was a triple-threat. She had the Cabbage Patch Demon Eater, the Sky Murderers, and Easy-Burn Oven. As for me . . . LEGOs
I remember having Lawn Darts, and you played the game much the same as Horseshoes. My experience was that you just kept your distance the same. It was a complete shocker to learn of their banning, during my spat working at a thrift store when they came as a donation that obviously we had to toss.
Doing things that hurt ourselves is a BIG part of growing up. It's how we LEARN how to do things without hurting ourselves and to think about things before we do them.
As a kid my local playground was lethal. Besides the copious amount of dogshit in it, it was also concrete around the slide, roundabout etc. Broke my arm twice and cut my head open on a rusty bolt. 36 years later my elbow still aches in the cold weather. Great times.
Born in 77. 42 now and body hurts like hell. My lower back, knees and shoulders. Thanks to 80s playgrounds and little league baseball. Those were the days!
T W Well I get that you were trying to be funny but Miley wasn’t the one responsible if the factories used lead they don’t have to be honest with the amount if she ask, half the time toys made off people such as her aren’t checked on by the individual due to them just having other things to do ... I may have worded that weird hopefully it makes sense
MOON SHOES. Why are you getting SO many of these NAMES WRONG, and DEETS? I had said MOON SHOES. In THEORY, YOU WERE SUPPOSED to be able to jump with these, AS HIGH AS THE MOON! In all REALITY. these were SOLID steel. They had 4 huge 4 1-2" high coil springs. Sandwiched by 2 metal palates. They had an straps to keep them on. One shoe must have been 10 - 15 lbs. Just trying to walk out the door, from my bedroom, took me 10 minutes. I tryed to jump one time, in my ROOM, luckily, my BED saved me. You COODNT have any springs pop thru that metal plate. Impossible. Twisted ankle, I never got one, cuz I am a smart girl, but, they are high, if you are NOT CAREFUL, OF COURSE YOU CAN GET ONE!
We used to put 9 volt batteries on our tongues. Oh and our science teacher let us play with mercury as a experiment in handle a liquid metal so all of us took turns rolling it around in our hands, love the 80s
Not sure if this is classified as a toy, but when I was very young I would play in a child walker. I was playing one day and it moved backwards and fell down the stairs to a concrete basement. I was in a coma for a few days and came out having epilepsy. I still take drugs and despite 3 brain surgeries still suffer from seizures. Thank goodness they are now banned in Canada, where I live, and many other countries.
There were actual "toy" cigarettes, I got them from a magic/joke shop. Basically a cigarette shaped tube, you would put talcum powder in, blow on to make puffs of the powder come out. I don't remember ever inhaling any powder accidentally though it probably could be done. It occurs to me now that they have all those lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson, for the cancer causing asbestos in their baby powder. Yes I'm old, this would have been in the 50's.
I had a coworker who had to take her young son to the ER after he removed an eye from an action figure and stuck it up his nose. The doctor said it was the only time he looked up a kid's nose and it looked back at him!
man lawn darts I remember playing that as a kid. lol you missed the original freddy Kruger glove with the metal blades... that was a big one back in the late 80's as well. great job Mike.
I loved candy cigarettes and they never cause me to start smoking. I'd probably still be eating them if they didn't have something in them I'm allergic to, and it isn't sugar.
So glad I grew up in a time when playgrounds were still metallic and fun! And we had something akin to lawn darts in the late 50s/60s! One spring in elem school we were all so excited because something called “the new playground” would be finished when we returned in fall. It was made on concrete 😆and had different holes to run through. Some of the tunnels were very nice and shady on a hot day!!
Yard darts; on my twelfth bday my brother and cousin started a game of darts, my brother thought it would b cool to catch a dart😲😲 spent several hours having hand reconstruction because dart pierced through his palm
I usually find you informative, and entertaining, but now, seeing you using items that don't relate, is very disturbing! I don't think I'll watch your show, ever again!!!!!
I was given a sky dancer for Christmas. After a few twirls I got bored and never launched the doll again, her castle also transformed into a tea set which I loved and played with often
my sister and I played with Jarts for several years, and never had an issue. parental supervision, and proper safety instruction actually works. but the parents have to be 1) willing to do it and 2) smarter than the 5 year old they are telling how to be safe
ONLY... to assh*les. Most of us take gun safety very seriously. Before even picking one up, you should be knowledgeable. The NRA spends much money and effort on education and safety. From a Benefactor Life member of the NRA.
Funny thing about Number 21 is that its a literally recycled idea used in another toy line (called "Dragon Flyz" and it was the exact same company, basically Sky Dancers but replace Fairies with Dragons). Even better? This was brought back in 2005, same exact gimmick only now produced by Play along Toys and slightly new packaging. Still amazes me that someone said "Hey, lets bring back that dangerous toy that got recalled" Also: While Cigerette sticks do still exist, the only people buying them are literally the people old enough to remember them and the sales aren't that great.
Also... born in the 80's grew up in the 90's survived clackers, Barbie roller skates that sparked and set some kids clothes on fire, sky dancers, slip and slides, etc... that said we did almost break my sister's filing fan light when we let the sky dancer fly in her room...
About the only toy I can remember hurting myself with was a minor (1st degree) burn from Mattel's Thingmaker. It was fun, I was careful, and I miss the days when you had to be accountable for your own stupidity. My brother and I had little slingshots and when we were having a battle with them, my mother took them away. She watched her kids, what a novel idea...
First time I gave my daughter the exploding candy she was just 3 yrs old. I placed a few larger pieces (they varied from small to extremely small) she was startled at first, a bit of panic. But she started giggling and wanted more.

I had so many dangerous toys in the 80's. Lawn darts, toy car kit that melted wax in a smelting pot that you tipped into a cast, that stupid ball Pogo stick thing, and the underrated foot pain Legos bring. Lots more I can't remember.. I did get candy cigarettes but I've never smoked so...
If you by some chance swallow a battery, eat a spoonful of baking soda. That should at least help with the acidity.
Then go immediately to the hospital!!!!
You forgot Chucky. Most dangerous of them all.
Glad you can still make great videos from home. Keep up the great work!
Just bad parents being bad parents, make a video about those segway shoes you mentioned, would be more entertaining than helicopter parents screaming about how dangerous the world can be if they abandon their screaming little horrors in a toy store without supervision.
I still have the Cabbage Patch doll that eats food. I would watch when my child who is older play through with it. But it's packed away and someday maybe it'll be worth some money
I hope you took the batteries out of it before it was put away.
Smart kids dont eat lead paint or lick windows. Most of the problems are from lazy parents not supervising their children
Toddlers can and WILL put anything, and everything in their mouths.They do not stop and weigh their options. No parent can watch the children every second. What parents CAN do is think ahead about some of these toys, as the manufacturers should.
@@christelheadington1136 nope still lazy parents. Parents should keep an eye on them when young until the parent can teach their child not to do certain things. If a child is still putting things in their mouth then they need lots of parental attention. Your child should hear "No" a lot until YOU teach them right and wrong. Do not be a lazy parent!
THANK YOU!!! I'm so glad to hear someone else say that kids need to be supervised while playing with these toys.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way.
Ugh, the stopping of thinning out the herd laws.
Yes, definitely! The world needs MORE, not less, chlorine in the gene pool
The law where I live about putting appliances out for the junkman, recycling, or just out in your yard, is you have to either chain it shut or completely remove the door.
In Canada, even if you're storing a fridge or freezer anywhere on your property or home, you MUST completely remove the door or be heavily fined
Sky Dancers were the "for girls" version of Sky Warriors. Who thought these toys were a good idea?
The fairie dancer wasn't hitting kids- it was landing in FIREPLACES, and kids tryed to grab their toys from the burning embers!
Geeez- think like a kid! A little toy hitting you ain't gonna HURT, but, WATCHING. YOUR BRAND NEW BEAUTIFUL FAIRY land in FIRE, is DEVASTATING!
I think smoking being promoted by Doctors (around the 50’s - 60’s they used Doctors in their advertisements) would have had more of an influence on people than lollies. Yes we call candy lollies in Australia.
I had a Skydancer when I was little. I was never injured by it, even though it did land on me several times. When they were recalled, my parents took it away, and I was very upset!
My kids had them. They never got hurt and I never took them away. My kids are in their 20s and 30s now and doing well.
So we're just going to forget about the all metal Tonka dump truck with sharp edges that wounded many children. Mine did.
What about Erector sets?They had all of those bolts and nuts. Wasn't there a lot of chemical sets that had uranium and other hazardous chemicals in them?
The uranium was in the Atomic Chemistry Lab back in the 40's or 50's. The thing is, we have laws about putting the appropriate ages for the toys on the packaging now. A lot of the problems come from parents not paying attention to them. Like Erector sets, they aren't for kids still young enough to put things like nuts and bolts in their mouth.
Yup
Playgrounds at my old elementary school after the playground handbook came out my old Elementary school removed all playground equipment leaving nothing but grass an open field nothing is left there for the kids play on
A little too safe; give me a break
My son was at the park with his friends and broke his arm trying to use one of those bogus "hoverboards".
#8 Was the Bat Masterson Kit Derringer. It did not jam or cause fires. It used what was an innovative Cap at the time a Greenie Stickum Cap. It came with a Cane that fired the cap and a Derby Hat that could be thrown like a Frisbee and with Caps stuck to it Banged when hitting a hard surface.
#10 Modern playgrounds ain’t safe when you got an allergy to rubber/latex...
"Sky Dancers" has one of the saddest, but funniest meme video with the little girl that sets hers off and it flies right into the burning fireplace!! Sad for the little girl, but hopefully she got a quick replacement!
I've seen that meme well it sends a message
I remember not only candy cigarettes but getting bubblegum cigars when a relative had a baby.
When I was 18, I wanted a hoverboard more than anything for Christmas. I thought I'd ride it all the time. I got what I wanted, it cost my dad $500 for an unbranded generic one, and I haven't used it since Jan 5th 2016.
I got up early that morning for a job orientation at Walmart. Having just turned 19 Dec 31st, 2015, it was gonna be my first job. I didn't have to leave for a couple hours, so I thought I'd take the hoverboard out and practice on the sidewalk. You know how sidewalks dip for driveways, crosswalks, wheelchair access, etc? Well, I was sleepy inching towards the one at the end of my driveway, wanting to take it slow. Next thing I know, I'm laying on the pavement with a huge bump on the back of my head, easily cupped by my hand, between the sizes of a golf ball and a baseball. I picked myself up, but my body felt heavy, almost numb even. I couldn't remember why I was up so early, so I wandered into the road to retrieve my hoverboard. Thankfully, someone saw me fall whole driving by and stopped, so there was no risk of anyone hitting me. They asked from their car if I was alright, and I just waved them off while hugging the board to my chest, saying I was fine.
I was not fine.
On my way back inside, I was rattling off the list of concussion symptoms to myself, thankful that I actually paid attention in health class. I was tired, forgot I had orientation, my head hurt... Yup, definitely concussed.
I went inside, went upstairs, dropped off the hoverboard in my room, then went to wake up my parents. My mom is notoriously hard to wake up, but when I took her hand and put it on the bump, it was like watching on a light. 😆 She instantly went from half awake to ready to take me to the hospital! I went back to my room and went back to bed, knowing I'd be fine.
I woke up in a hospital bed. My mom said I was asleep for maybe 4hrs. I threw up a couple times. I was also told I threw up in my sleep. I was so out of it, everything hurt... But I was discharged not long after waking up. They had to wheel me out in a chair, since I was still shaky on my feet.
I later found out that my dad had called Walmart to let them know, and my orientation was rescheduled to 2 weeks later. I had no lasting memory problems or detectable brain damage. Even remembered Walmart not long after waking up.
Moral of the story: Wear a fucking helmet.
I loved going over to my grandma's house and playing lawn darts as a kid! That was so much fun!
I would like to see the product, not see irrelevant pictures as it's described.
Thank you.
off the top of my head, those flying spinning barbie dolls, the old chemistry sets with hazardous chemicals, easy bake ovens, lawn darts, toys that had lead paint.
Youre talking about skydancers lol...i hurt my finger on one back in the day
I hate to say it, but the pictures of the items you're talking about aren't illegal to show. I've seen plenty of vids with them.
Old playgrounds reminded me of my playground injury. I was on the old school ride that swung you in a circle until you got dizzy. Well a friend decided to get it started and I fell backward got my head drug through gravel. I had to go to the nurses station because I had gravel embedded in the back of my head. I’m glad playgrounds are safer but still we had too much fun even with the injuries.
BOOM popping Candy,🤣(aka) POP ROCKS😂👍✌️💯🖖😎
One of the main issues with these products causing injuries is parents not watching over their children. Far too many classic toys have been re-designed (poorly, I might add) due to parents not watching their rambunctious children who then get injured for playing with/around said toys too rough, and suing manufacturers (and then tragically winning said lawsuits, promoting bad parenting).
I’m amazed I am still alive. I wasn’t very smart as a kid but then my parents also supplied me with a number of dangerous toys, including the moon boots, Jarts, Thingmakers (Which had you cooking bizarre plastic chemicals on a table top stove) and a number of guns that shot tiny darts. But the most dangerous one that I ever encountered was Tinker Toys. Do you remember the little wooden sticks that used to circular wooden wheels to connect together? Well, my version came in a thick cardboard tube with a screw-on lid made of metal. Sometimes that lid was rather difficult to open, especially to a five-year-old like me. For whatever reason, I had put the lid back on to the tube but still had all of the play sticks out of the can. I could not unscrew that stupid lid so I got the bright idea of trying to pry the lid off by using one of the sticks as a pry bar. It worked-the lid came off with a loud clang, but the stick continued to shoot upward into my right eye. My mother, hearing the noise told me it was time to pick up my toys, and then came running when she heard me screaming. There was no blood, and only a bruise, but I could not open the eye for several hours. She didn’t even need to take me to the doctor, but rather put a gauze patch over my eye. The next morning the patch came off and I was good as new and lucky to still have both eyes. I guess I could say it wasn’t so much the Tinker Toy that was the danger but the container itself, at least when it came to inventive children using imaginative ways to open containers.
What ever happens to. The kid that swallows the most marbles, doest grow up to have kids of their own. Natural selection people.
Clankers?
No- they were called CLICK CLACKS, And they were AWESOME!!!
Video: what do you think this alien can give you?
Me: some kind of pan-galactic disease?
Video: e-coli!
Me: oh, so it is a disease!
The most dangerous toy my sister owned was a triple-threat. She had the Cabbage Patch Demon Eater, the Sky Murderers, and Easy-Burn Oven. As for me . . . LEGOs
Lmfao🤣
I remember having Lawn Darts, and you played the game much the same as Horseshoes. My experience was that you just kept your distance the same. It was a complete shocker to learn of their banning, during my spat working at a thrift store when they came as a donation that obviously we had to toss.
Doing things that hurt ourselves is a BIG part of growing up. It's how we LEARN how to do things without hurting ourselves and to think about things before we do them.
You mentioned Battlestar Galactica!!! Cool! But I like the remake better.
As a kid my local playground was lethal. Besides the copious amount of dogshit in it, it was also concrete around the slide, roundabout etc. Broke my arm twice and cut my head open on a rusty bolt. 36 years later my elbow still aches in the cold weather. Great times.
Born in 77. 42 now and body hurts like hell. My lower back, knees and shoulders. Thanks to 80s playgrounds and little league baseball.
Those were the days!
Is anyone really surprised Hannah Montana is poisonous?
T W Well I get that you were trying to be funny but Miley wasn’t the one responsible if the factories used lead they don’t have to be honest with the amount if she ask, half the time toys made off people such as her aren’t checked on by the individual due to them just having other things to do ... I may have worded that weird hopefully it makes sense
I just got this notification today! Why do late youtube!? Great video guys!
9:39 - Well, American law enforcement officers tend to be trigger happy with god complexes to boot!
MOON SHOES.
Why are you getting SO many of these NAMES WRONG, and DEETS?
I had said MOON SHOES.
In THEORY, YOU WERE SUPPOSED to be able to jump with these, AS HIGH AS THE MOON!
In all REALITY. these were SOLID steel. They had 4 huge 4 1-2" high coil springs. Sandwiched by 2 metal palates. They had an straps to keep them on.
One shoe must have been 10 - 15 lbs. Just trying to walk out the door, from my bedroom, took me 10 minutes.
I tryed to jump one time, in my ROOM, luckily, my BED saved me.
You COODNT have any springs pop thru that metal plate. Impossible.
Twisted ankle, I never got one, cuz I am a smart girl, but, they are high, if you are NOT CAREFUL, OF COURSE YOU CAN GET ONE!
When I was like 3 I thought that smells were amazing and tried to smell a watch battery and ended up with it stuck up my nose
We used to put 9 volt batteries on our tongues. Oh and our science teacher let us play with mercury as a experiment in handle a liquid metal so all of us took turns rolling it around in our hands, love the 80s
Not sure if this is classified as a toy, but when I was very young I would play in a child walker. I was playing one day and it moved backwards and fell down the stairs to a concrete basement. I was in a coma for a few days and came out having epilepsy. I still take drugs and despite 3 brain surgeries still suffer from seizures. Thank goodness they are now banned in Canada, where I live, and many other countries.
11:10 that implies that adults having common sense is actually common.
It’s definitely not.
Yup and millions of other children were not hurt playing on playground equipment.
There were actual "toy" cigarettes, I got them from a magic/joke shop. Basically a cigarette shaped tube, you would put talcum powder in, blow on to make puffs of the powder come out. I don't remember ever inhaling any powder accidentally though it probably could be done. It occurs to me now that they have all those lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson, for the cancer causing asbestos in their baby powder. Yes I'm old, this would have been in the 50's.
Talc is a known carcinogen that had been band in many countries.
Did you ever get the smoking skull in Cracker Jacks? That was my favorite toy!
I loved candy cigarettes when I was a young kid. I'm almost 50 now, and have never smoked.
I love Pop Rocks. Thanks for making another great video. Hope ur well and staying safe.
Zotz
I had a coworker who had to take her young son to the ER after he removed an eye from an action figure and stuck it up his nose. The doctor said it was the only time he looked up a kid's nose and it looked back at him!
man lawn darts I remember playing that as a kid. lol you missed the original freddy Kruger glove with the metal blades... that was a big one back in the late 80's as well. great job Mike.
#6 The writer put the product on the list based on myths?
Mike, the Oscar the Grouch commercial through your video was freaking great. Oh and your video was Ok as well. ;)
I loved candy cigarettes and they never cause me to start smoking. I'd probably still be eating them if they didn't have something in them I'm allergic to, and it isn't sugar.
And this is why I'm glad that i quit my toy collecting addiction.
Still catching up ❤
Wow! Just from the title alone, I bet this list is going to be HILARIOUS!
Good video.
The episode but Mike buys all the ones still available and the image is replaced with him trying to use them.
(Obviously not the poisonous ones)
So glad I grew up in a time when playgrounds were still metallic and fun! And we had something akin to lawn darts in the late 50s/60s! One spring in elem school we were all so excited because something called “the new playground” would be finished when we returned in fall. It was made on concrete 😆and had different holes to run through. Some of the tunnels were very nice and shady on a hot day!!
In the 50's my dad had a home glass blowing kit....let that sink in.
#10 takes me back.. Get one of those spinning as fast as you can and see who can hold on the longest.. It last the longest before throwing up
Yard darts; on my twelfth bday my brother and cousin started a game of darts, my brother thought it would b cool to catch a dart😲😲 spent several hours having hand reconstruction because dart pierced through his palm
I loved candy cigarettes and they never influenced me to smoke.
I usually find you informative, and entertaining, but now, seeing you using items that don't relate, is very disturbing! I don't think I'll watch your show, ever again!!!!!
My favorite was the burns you got from metal slides.
I was given a sky dancer for Christmas. After a few twirls I got bored and never launched the doll again, her castle also transformed into a tea set which I loved and played with often
Slip & Slide has better won the List...
Always wanted one but never got one.
@@list25 got a nasty cut from one on my stomach in 85. I almost can't see the scar at 42. Good times well until the rock wasn't saw in the yard.
Lawn Dart wars were always fun times
my sister and I played with Jarts for several years, and never had an issue. parental supervision, and proper safety instruction actually works. but the parents have to be 1) willing to do it and 2) smarter than the 5 year old they are telling how to be safe
I loved lawn darts... I always tried to find the sharpest ones.
25 most dangerous toys, and two of them are gun-related. Of course, to Americans, guns ARE toys.
ONLY... to assh*les. Most of us take gun safety very seriously. Before even picking one up, you should be knowledgeable. The NRA spends much money and effort on education and safety. From a Benefactor Life member of the NRA.
Bro I grew up with those candy cigarettes! They were so good!
Many of my best memories involve cuts scrapes bleeding or broken teeth. But I play street hockey still at almost 45 years old, hike and skateboard.
pop rocks are so dope...
Me and most of my friends loved candy cigarettes and none of us smoke.
Had & played with Lawn Darts, they were fun. Was wondering if you were going to include them.
Funny thing about Number 21 is that its a literally recycled idea used in another toy line (called "Dragon Flyz" and it was the exact same company, basically Sky Dancers but replace Fairies with Dragons). Even better? This was brought back in 2005, same exact gimmick only now produced by Play along Toys and slightly new packaging. Still amazes me that someone said "Hey, lets bring back that dangerous toy that got recalled"
Also: While Cigerette sticks do still exist, the only people buying them are literally the people old enough to remember them and the sales aren't that great.
Also... born in the 80's grew up in the 90's
survived clackers, Barbie roller skates that sparked and set some kids clothes on fire, sky dancers, slip and slides, etc...
that said we did almost break my sister's filing fan light when we let the sky dancer fly in her room...
About the only toy I can remember hurting myself with was a minor (1st degree) burn from Mattel's Thingmaker. It was fun, I was careful, and I miss the days when you had to be accountable for your own stupidity. My brother and I had little slingshots and when we were having a battle with them, my mother took them away. She watched her kids, what a novel idea...
First time I gave my daughter the exploding candy she was just 3 yrs old. I placed a few larger pieces (they varied from small to extremely small) she was startled at first, a bit of panic. But she started giggling and wanted more.
21 I used to have the boys version of skydancers I think called dragon flyers????
