    PixOs made it's way onto my 3 1/2 year old daughters Holiday wish list. :x

    You may remember them as Aquadots or Beados, before the recall and renaming. She's not getting them even if I thought she wouldn't eat them.

    Because introducing your children to GHB would be bad.

    "Mommy? Sarah is asleep on the couch after she ate my aquadots!"

    "What the hell? Do what you gotta do."

    My mom couldn't stand the sound of electric football. I couldn't stand it because my brother threatened to pound the shit out of me if I didn't play it with him.

    Lawn Darts. Fun, but who the hell thought to give kids giant sharp darts and tell them the rules are to throw them WAY up in the air to try to make in stick in a little ring way down the lawn. There's about a hundered and one things that could go wrong here in the hands of a child. I still played this as a kid and loved it.

    I think they came out with a safer version of lawn darts, either that or we just didn't know to take the plastic covers off the end. eh.

    Yeah, they came out with a safe version....



    Somehow, the fun was killed off when it was made "safe" :(

    Legos, because they would escape, and always find the arch of my moms foot.

    Oh, I remember chicken limbo. That thing would drive my parents crazy at times.

    Parents hated when you stuck these things to the ceiling, and then they'd randomly drop on someone's head later.


    Kinda like my short obsession with sticky eyeballs... :roll:

    I love what George Carlin says about kids playing with lawn darts. It was something to the effect of getting hit in the head and getting coloring books for Christmas for the rest of your life... :lol::roll:

    My uncle's best friend really hated TMNT slime, or mutagen to be exact.

    The Mad Scientist Dissect an Alien was hated by many moms in the mid to late 80s. My friend got his out of the attic not too long ago and with a little water most of the stuff was still good. Someone did an article on it last year. Can you imagine this being sold today?
