As many of us Slinky-victims know, the toy was a FAIL at doing more than one (two at the most) walk-over. I felt disillusioned and ripped off at the ripe old age of 6. Scarred for life, I tell ya.
Having not had much math at the time, by looking at the depth of the steps should have been the first clue.

Yeah, for real. Who even has steps that narrow? The Slinky people who built them, that's who.

I had one of those
until my brother twisted it up because it was useless

Kind of like paddle balls, great until the rubberband broke

The paddle boards come in handy now especially with the rubber band broke...jus sayin.

Yep, once the Slinky coils got twisted or bent, it was forever ruined.

Just didn't appreciate them back then like now

As long as we're on the old, Silly Putty

Why they had a person dressed up as an airline pilot to pitch this stuff, I'll never know.

Now if i talk about a product out now that I don't like,
it would have to be that Sliders Grill
We got one as a gift and I think it's worthless
Great little burgers, but clean up stinks
Can't immerse it and the little holes
well, they're hard to clean

Honestly I can make little burgers in a pan quicker

He wasn't recommended... Unfortunately, the one we loved was diagnosed with cancer and is likely to pass away... :( The guy that I just fired was doing the lawn of our neighbor so I asked him to step in... and it has not been an easy ride of it.

THIS time I asked for referrals and got a guy that actually has a license and has worker's comp for his workers... I like that a lot... means he means business AND he takes care of his peeps... And, yes, a good gardener actually DOES do sprinkler systems, upgrades, as well as maintenance.

We still miss Luis and pray for his family all the time...

Ronco's rotisserie oven
sucks big time takes hours to clean up after every single use.
The plastic piece they give to set the forks on to carve, melts.
Can not immerse in water.

Ha, thought of something.......

See, this is one reason why I like rotisseries on grills
No fuss, no muss, easy as cutting a slice of pie
Set it up and let the chicken ride

I use a charcoal grill that has a slot for a hand crank one. Not into standing for hours however, so I make drunken chicken, works better for me.

I use them for cleaning ears of adults. Anyway, I got this small, two piece job that leaked at the connection when you squeezed the Dang bulb
Now I am sure that a load of ya will find this useful.
Well, for sure we will. Those of us who are in the market for snot-suckers now know not to buy the 2-piece job because it leaks. You did good, Wax.
