Β Forty years ago Monday, the world was introduced to one of the most frustratingly addictive toys in history: the Rubik’s Cube. Β The cube also represents a point in history when toys started to shift to being more cerebral, instead of physical… and dangerous.
Rarely do you find new toys like the one we found: the Sliderider. Β It’s a set of mats that join together to create an exhilirating rush that will likely end in a broken spinal column. Β Basically, it turns your home staircase into an indoor slide. Β It’s the kind of fun that kids gravitate towards because kids love dangerous play. Β If it’s not thrilling, it’s not fun. Β
Which made us wonder: what toys are you surprised you survived as a kid?
