[Closed] Shite toys of your childhood

Approaching christmas, what really disappointing toys did you have? I remember a wee cone shaped basket affair, with a ping pong ball, you clicked a trigger on it and a wee popper projected the ping pong ball about 9 inches into the air, the idea being that you caught it in the basket again. Genius. Another was a big hard plastic rugby ball shaped thing, with a hole through it, and about 20m of double rope/string going through, with kite handles on either end. you separated the handles apart, projecting the 'ball' at high speed towards your sis, who did the same back to you. That thing must've broken numerous fingers across our fine nation. Gies yer worst.
