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.
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!

Some people are like slinkies…no fun until you push them down a flight of stairs.

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

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.’

I love the dueling punmanship between Scott and Dan Thompson (Brevity)!

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.
