    If it’s like the slinkies I had as a kid, it will work for about two days before it gets a kink and becomes non-functional. Just stop getting him replacements and make him go cold slurkey.

    ♫ It’s Slinky, It’s Slinky. For Fun, it’s a Wonderful Toy … ♫

    And people think internet addiction is bad. Kid’s TV had our number.

    I had a Charlie Brown life, my slinky never worked.

    You’re a Plugger if that jingle popped into your head as soon as you saw “Slinky™”

    We visited the Washington Monument when I was a kid in the 60s. My brother and I took the stairs to the top. Back then there were almost 1000 steps. Slinky paradise!

    That kid just loves the spring and the fall, even in the summer and winter.

    My dad was too cheap. He gave me a couple feet of wire and told me to make one.

    Instead of ‘a spring in his step’ he has ‘a spring on his step.’

    In the 1950s, I bought a reverberator for my car radio … it’s main functioning hardware was a small diameter slinky about 6" long.

    Oh, no! Your child is outside, playing with an analog toy, not in front of a screen. They should buy slinkys for every kid in town and start a club!

    We’d have a whole different culture if Apple had used a slinky as their model for a pocket computer.
