Did you notice the constant reoccurring theme? 'Hundreds of thousands were sold and six kids were hurt' Ever put a bit of responsibility on the apparently 'challenged' kids and their parents? That stuff for the most part had a real short learning curve.
Wow! I'm surprised about that coz here in Australia we have a kids' party fave called fairy bread which is made by buttering a slice of bread and sprinkle hundreds and thousands on top and no kid never got hurt with hundred and thousands
As a kid growing up in the 1960s & 1970s we had almost all these things. And my sisters had the easy bake ovens. And even real guns were not uncommon gifts for kids. We did not treat them as toys. I remember firing real muskets and black Powder rifles as a kid. As well as BB guns pellet guns and regular guns of all types in the boy scouts. And we usually went hunting and fishing all your round. It was a different time, Even as a child I was more mature than most adults are today.
@victorwaddell6530 i was 8 when i got my first .22 rifle .. a nice lil Remington semi ..got my cooey .22 repeater and 410 at 12... i lived ..lol they were gifts but we were taught they were tools ...not toys !
Perfect statement, im using these guys to teach my two youngest daughters, as they have no institutional education structure at all, and i do hope i am steering them in the right direction,. Im so scared for them..😟
As a child of the 60s I had a lot of these toys! I was particularly proud of my woodburning kit but I was also smart enough to know what hot meant! I also had a leather tooling kit and slip and slide and lawn darts. We also had adult supervision and lots of fun.
god forbid kids go outside and see trees, those long branch things could inflict injury, or they might see birds and get injured trying to fly ! but dont consider parental supervision or education, its about time kids were protected, ban trees and birds, outlaw bens and furniture more than an inch tall, make sharp paper illegal and prosecute anyone giving kids those stabby crayola.
Ikr?! The world is such a big cotton wool ball these days. I remember the things that we did as kids, like standing on the shopping carts when our mum's did the shopping and other things. But no, you can't do that now. It's pathetic
As kids my friends and I had all these toys. And our school playground stuff too. Little swings, big swings, jungle gyms, monkey bars, uneven bars, steel rings, tether ball, see saws, dodge balls, soccer, baseballs, kick balls, jump rope. We rode in the middle of car tires as our friends pushed us along, played high jump, horse and riders (we got pretty rough). Not to mention as little kids we played leapfrog, hide and go seek (at night spread out over a couple of blocks). We drank water from hoses, swamp cooler hoses, went barefoot most of the time (stepped on broken glass a few times and bled). Climbed trees, scaled fences to get where we wanted to get. All that kind of stuff. Most of us boys and some of the girls that played with us always had cuts, scrapes and bruises most of the time. But because of the way we all were back in the day, our community had a strong herd immunity. This is back in the 50s and 60s. We did not grow up to be woke and wimps. Is it my imagination or are so many of today's kids and teens and college age kids less energetic, assertive and robust than we were? Just wondering, does anyone remember Bulljoes?
My brothers and I had all of these a.d did everything you mentioned in the 70s and 80s. We grew up just fine. We knew not to touch hot things with our bare hands. We got scraped up and learned to do things with out getting hurt. We were resilient.
When I was a kid, my older brother and some of our neighbours, used to roll down a hill in our local park, jump on and off roundabouts in the playground, swing too high, jump off the witches hat roundabout and play on a 12 foot metal slide, that could burn your backside or freeze it depending on the weather. The 1960s...no one knew about health and safety. That started later in parks. Now the play ground equipment is tiny and has padded mats. There is also no way their parents would let them roll down a hill, even though, as then it was and is covered with grass. The world is so different...no wonder these toys were sold. Health and safety rules on toys and playground equipment started in the UK, in the early 1970s.
I had the girls version of Creepy Crawlers and Ioved it. I didn't get burned, but I was between 8 and 10 at the time. 5he same for having my Easy Bake Oven - but didn't get that until 10. I had many sets of clackers as a teen. Loved playing with them. I have a toy, board game, you missed. It was called Hats Off and was recalled because of the metal ball bearing weighting down the plastic cone that was pitched onto the plastic board with a spring loaded launcher. Those little 'hats' could really go far. Look it up. Recall was because kids were prying out the ball bearing and 3at8ng them.
Very few people know this, but the yo-yo the original intention of it was created in South America as an actual weapon it was designed for hunting birds and then somebody took it to war and found out it could be used is a war weapon so why are you surprised that a children’s toy can be destructive you know some of our best weapon designs came out of children toys
Clackers come from bolos used by South American cowboys to capture cattle . Lawn darts come from Roman plumbata dart missile weapons . As a kid, I used to fashion slings from scrap leather and string and toss stones with lethal potential . I learned how to do that in Bible school when I was taught about David vs. Goliath .
Oh yes not only did my cousin and I jump around on Moon shoes we also had Easy-Bake ovens creepy crawler kits and jarts... As well as fake guns like pellet BB guns yeah I guess drinking out of a hose is not heard of much these days Pretty sure my parents still probably have our jarts Moon shoes and easy bake ovens guns and search in our crawl space I want to get them out and play with them now LOL my kid is a civilized human being
My bff's & me think all these "warning" labels need to be discontinued, for the same reason. 😂 In the 70's & early 80's we didn't have them. And not as near as many people bit the big one as would happen today if there wasn't warning labels on everything. I have an issue with everyone gets participation trophies too. There is a certain pride that comes with EARNING a trophy, ribbon etc...
i get dodge ball, but no duck, duck, goose?!?!?! and what's wrong with freeze tag? is all that simply because you "hit" someone? if so, why don't we ban all contact sports as well? 🤬
I'm 74 years old was a kid in the 50s and 60s didn"t have any of the toys Mike described,but I/we survived merry go rounds,metal slides,jungle jims,riding bikes no helmets,rope swings and vsrious other "dangerous" devices and with a few exceptions where someone might break an arm we all managed to make it to adulthood. Now parents are terrified to let their kids out of their sight fearful there's a pedo/kidnapper behind every tree,bush or rock pile. We were kicked out of the house only to return for supper afterwards we went out to play till the streetlights came on.
Lawn Darts!!!! The dangerously pointy backyard game we had fun for hours playing back when I was a kid of the 70's! Back then parents didn't think twice about us using those things!
And the parents never thought about us using our playmates for target practice either. (I still have a set I found at garage sale. It's mounted on the wall but I have no young kids or grandkids)
None of these are dangerous if the parents do their job and supervise. As a kid, I had chemistry sets with cyanide and arsenic as components. Parents these days think toys are babysitters.
I had an easy bake oven in the late 70s. I also had a clacker in the late 80s. The wood burning kits are still available to purchase at craft stores. I couldn't get enough slap bracelets in HS. If parents purchase these items for their children it requires prudent parenting. I didn't get hurt at all because my parents made sure I didn't use them when I was alone or to harm someone else. Prudent parenting. Don't get it if you cannot monitor your child using it. Toy companies only want to make money.
FINALLY! someone that has the same view of "hoverboards" that i do... stupid name for it, give us actual hoverboards like the ones on BTTF, don't come out with this poorly made slop and call them hoverboards when they clearly don't hover! by the way, my sister still has the set of lawn darts that my father bought when they first came out, but she keeps them safely stored away in her closet
My parents have way too many of these items still stored in closets LOL and the hoverboard my child still has sitting in his bedroom to this day... I'm fine with that lol
I received a wood burning kit for Christmas at 12 years old in the late 70’s. I might have burned myself once but then I didn’t do it again. Because our generation wasn’t stupid. 😏
@christinacarr8971 well at least ours didn't shatter 🤣 my children played with them. My youngest son was just playing with them recently and hit his own hand and wants nothing to do with them. What a softy 😂😂
I can see if something has asbestos or toxic chemicals in them but geez, how coddled are kids and why aren’t the parents going over the hazards with them. I’m 67 and we had pogo sticks, BB guns, would climb the tallest tree with the weakest branches and play games on pavement. I can see making things as safe as possible for kids, but that doesn’t mean you totally eliminate them.
I played lawn darts for years. I never got hit or no injuries. The reason my friends and I ere not dumb enough to stand behind the circle ! When the o5her person was going to throw their darts. You get out of the way! 😆. If you’re 50 feet away, and you get hit… that means your friend wants to hurt you! 15:13
The first version of the Easy Bake oven, didn't look like a microwave and the opening was just big enough to slide the small pans through. I know this because my sister had one when we were kids and I used it as well. They should have stuck with that design!! The calcium carbide, if I'm not mistaken, was also used as a heat source for some other stuff back then. I mining lamp comes to mind I think. I had clackers. I had a wood burning kit when I was a kid but wasn't allowed to use it much. Coincidently, I did get a soldering iron to use since I was into repairing things. I left it plugged up next to the window and forgot about it for hours, then seen it glowing red!! LOL Wood burning iron, soldering iron, both the same thing. Never had the creepy crawler thing, but I did have a machine with metal plates where you can make cowboys, Indians and horses. It used these weird cylindrical pieces of plastic with a slot in them. You put it in the top and slide the molds under it and pressed the lever down and it filled the molds. I was never allowed to make anything with it, although I did sneak and make a few with it. No idea whatever happened to it. Used to have lawn darts. They just gave them to us and never supervised us. We threw them up in the air and watched them come down, but stayed far away from them when they were coming down.
Like most Boomers, I grew up with Lawn Darts, Easy Bake Ovens, Vacuforms, chemistry sets, and hard plastic water-filled rockets launched by pumping them full of air. That’s one reason we laugh at “trigger warnings” like foul language and smoking. Please!
Boomers are the worst generation ever; and don’t understand the ridiculousness of laughing at the way a generation was raised when they are the ones that raised them to be like that.
I loved these toys when I was a kid. They were only dangerous if you used them wrong. If you insisted on being stupid, you got what you deserved. Although parents should monitor, kids properly taught responsible use, these toys were no more dangerous than the world outside. Imagine if we banned bicycles? They caused much more harm than anything on this list!
"I won't swallow my shape shifting friend!" As a Nana of 8 grandchildren, I spit my drink laughing. My youngest grandchild and the only boy in the bunch embraced that whole vibe. He will eat ANYTHING! 😂
Laser pointer of the kind you're showing are banned from sale in the UK. It is a criminal offence to use one to shine at vehicles, in particular planes in flight. People have been prosecuted and found guilty of using them to attack drivers and pilots.
Most of these would have been absolutely FINE if parents would do their job and PARENT. But no, no, it's somehow the manufacturers' fault that Mommy didn't supervise Janey using that EZ-Bake, or whatever other "dangerous" toys you want to list.
just another example of how kids grew dumber after gen x........ how DID we survive? 😱 there's nothing wrong with any of these toys, it's the children and their parents that need to be recalled. (well, lithium batteries are an issue, but they're not toys!)
There should be a rating system in place for EVERYTHING sold to Mankind and there Offspring that cannot be legally challenged so long as it is Honest and explains the fundamental risk of each product toy or otherwise. Some kids are way more responsible than some adults and will only grow and become Great by learning safely at their own pace. I owned my first firearm at 13 years old and handled dangerous objects and work without injuries to anyone including myself. But I have seen Adults who should😮 know better injure themselves and others by simply being selfish greedy Assholes. It really depends on the individual but so not limit society because of the foolish few who bring everything down with them.
If parents are doing their job and paying attention to their children most of the toys would be fine. But parents have their heads buried in their phones, and not on their children. I didn’t need an easy bake oven because my mom made us all start cooking when we were about five. Making breakfast for the family ie all 7 of us.
You left out one, the Water Wiggle. I had one and it wrapped around me and a lamp post in our yard. when it had me totally pinned the water jet was spraying me in the face. Luckily my mom saw it and turned the water off. If she and my dad were not paying attention to me I could have easily drowned.
Growing up in 80’s and 90’s I remember a lot of these toys, lawn darts and slap bracelets especially, I don’t recall anyone getting injured but it doesn’t surprise me, even social media hurts kids nowadays
If anyone is wondering how these toys were available for kids i suggest looking up Child Labor Laws at the times these toys were available. I haven't looked it up myself because I'm fairly certain that the CLL weren't all that protective of kids either.
@nicfisher8266 So according to you there is no corelation between the common sense kids needed to work with dangerous machinery or play with dangerous toys?
I was a kid in the the early 90s my favorite toys were skateboards a pogo stick and a daisy red rider that destroyed many of my grandfathers beer cans. I was stacking beermids in 92😂
My youngest daughter received a second degree burn on her leg from her sister's easy bake oven. Her foot caught the cord and sent the "cake pan" flying out of the oven when it was super hot . She still has a scar to this day. I never would have got one for her sister if it was that easy to get second degree burns.
I’m 66. I got my creepy crawler set when I was six or seven and I loved it! I did get a nasty burn on the tip of my thumb. I learned to be more careful. It was the best thing ever for a creative kid who didn’t have enough outlets for said creativity. I work as a 3-D artist today. I’m a potter and work with 2300 degree Fahrenheit firings in a kiln and pit fires. I’m still damn careful and still, on very rare occasions, get burned.
Between my kids and I we had 11 of these. I missed out on the chemistry set with Uranium, but I do remember getting a chemistry set around 1972 with arsenic and the chemicals needed to make gun powder.
I find these videos interesting. We had many of these toys and we all survived. When you hear the types of injuries it makes you wonder how skateboards have survived, considering the number of people actually killed on skateboards.
I still have a couple sets of lawn darts from the late 70s and early 80s! I don't care what anybody says. It's still lots of fun, and as long as you don't stand right in front of or in the line of where they're throwing, you'll be good... But if you are a moron and stand with the hoop at your feet and try to have them hurl, the dart into the hoop at your feet and you get hit well, then that's your fault and your problem, and we shouldn't have to suffer for your stupidity, and if you allowed your children to play with these lawn Darts, unsupervised and your child accidentally oft themselves, well, guess what that makes you a bad parent!
You know, I remember these toys, they had caution warnings with them. I don't ever remember any kids in the neighborhood getting hurt by them, and I grew up in a suburb of Washington D.C.
This made me google Super Elastic Bubble Plastic that I played with in the 70’s 😂 I knew back then that the chemical smell emitting from it couldn’t be healthy and sure enough they stopped making it sometime in the 80’s that stuff was probably cancerous, it contained a chemical in nail polish remover 😂
This 'SnowFlake Generation' we de-evolved into has Banned Every Toy from my childhood! . Great Video! These kids need to know how to have fun and Ride a Bicycle Off a Ramp and start having a good time for a change!
My dad had a kid sized side by side double barrel shotgun that you stuffed corks in the end of the barrels. when you cocked the hammers it moved a plunger back, there were 2 triggers just like the real deal. when pulled the corks flew at an alarming rate. I got to play with it a few times. It was a lot of fun for a boy for sure. it was more than 40 years ago that I got to play with it, and I can still see it in my minds eye.
This is the second list 25 that I've watched in the last couple days and it starts freaking out in the middle of the video. I don't know how to explain I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems with this. This is one of my top platforms and it pains me to stop it in the middle but I just can't deal with what's going on.😢
my phone gets stupid like that sometimes. just gotta stop the video and restart your phone. when the phone comes back up, you can pick up the video where you left off. i have problems with many videos, so it's not list 25, it's your phone.
Lawn Darts were never promoted as a childs toy as I remember it being for adults. It was big at picnics and backyards in the 1970's Around the same time as "Creepy Crawlers" was "The Time Machine" by Mattel. Small 2" plastic squares would be put into a clear plastic chamber which heated up and made it open and reveal a bug or dinosaur. That sucker got hot!, I had one. There was also "Shrinky Dinks" which were plastic figures you needed to put in the oven to shrink!

But you'll shoot your eye out kid! Hahaha 😂❤❤❤
@jessreuter8114 I received a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas in 1972 when I was six years old . I wasn't an idiot kid and never shot it at anyone .
@victorwaddell6530 i was 8 when i got my first .22 rifle .. a nice lil Remington semi ..got my cooey .22 repeater and 410 at 12... i lived ..lol they were gifts but we were taught they were tools ...not toys !
And our school playground equipment was set up on concrete, asphalt and gravel.
Child safety back then was mostly an afterthought.
😂😂😂
And we were FINE!
@@wmdkitty Sure. Once I got the stitches out, I was fit as a fiddle.
I still have gravel in my body I'm sure
Metal slides as well
As a kid of the 50s and 60s, we knew the difference between toys and reality. Just like we never thought cartoons were real life.
Perfect statement, im using these guys to teach my two youngest daughters, as they have no institutional education structure at all, and i do hope i am steering them in the right direction,. Im so scared for them..😟
Nobody would ever think kids are that stupid... It only takes a few to ruin it for the rest.. Parents are to blame
Especially those flotation rings. What parent would ever leave a baby/toddler unsupervised around water? Morons.
As a child of the 60s I had a lot of these toys! I was particularly proud of my woodburning kit but I was also smart enough to know what hot meant! I also had a leather tooling kit and slip and slide and lawn darts. We also had adult supervision and lots of fun.
god forbid kids go outside and see trees, those long branch things could inflict injury, or they might see birds and get injured trying to fly ! but dont consider parental supervision or education, its about time kids were protected, ban trees and birds, outlaw bens and furniture more than an inch tall, make sharp paper illegal and prosecute anyone giving kids those stabby crayola.
Truth !!! I was an 80's-90's kid and this still applies!!!😂❤🎉
😂😂😂😂😂
Ikr?! The world is such a big cotton wool ball these days. I remember the things that we did as kids, like standing on the shopping carts when our mum's did the shopping and other things. But no, you can't do that now. It's pathetic
I agree. Bad, bad nature and fun. BAD! NO-NO!

i have so much to say about these toys. but what it all boils down to is…WATCH YOUR FLIPPIN’ KIDS IF THEY USE QUESTIONABLE TOYS!!!!!!!
@@nostalgiaprincess I think it's the kids that are "questionable," not the toys
I bet you were questionable when you were a kid too@@newshodgepodge6329

Bring the toys back, survival of the fittest...

Bring back The "Jarts!" We NEED to clean out The Gene Pool! 🤓😎✌🏼
Oh yes not only did my cousin and I jump around on Moon shoes we also had Easy-Bake ovens creepy crawler kits and jarts... As well as fake guns like pellet BB guns yeah I guess drinking out of a hose is not heard of much these days

I had some clakers when I was a kid drove my mother insane. And I believe you can make them out of acrylic.
Now a days you can't play dodge ball, freeze tag or duck duck goose because its so dangerous 😅
i get dodge ball, but no duck, duck, goose?!?!?!
and what's wrong with freeze tag?
is all that simply because you "hit" someone?
if so, why don't we ban all contact sports as well? 🤬
We can still play football and we can't play duck duck goose wow lol I'm goooooood❤❤
A kid got charged with having a weapon at school, when he pointed his finger and said BANG. (Teachers are at the bottom of the SATs.)
You missed the Wham-o Air Blaster and Mattel Sonic Blaster ... two of my favorite toys of the era.
Those guns were so much fun 😂
Sure!🙄It's ALL fun until the gun backfires on You
I'm 74 years old was a kid in the 50s and 60s didn"t have any of the toys Mike described,but I/we survived merry go rounds,metal slides,jungle jims,riding bikes no helmets,rope swings and vsrious other "dangerous" devices and with a few exceptions where someone might break an arm we all managed to make it to adulthood. Now parents are terrified to let their kids out of their sight fearful there's a pedo/kidnapper behind every tree,bush or rock pile.

Lawn Darts!!!! The dangerously pointy backyard game we had fun for hours playing back when I was a kid of the 70's! Back then parents didn't think twice about us using those things!
Yup, I was there. I'm sure bicycles injured more kids and they weren't outlawed.
And the parents never thought about us using our playmates for target practice either. (I still have a set I found at garage sale. It's mounted on the wall but I have no young kids or grandkids)
@Brian_W. I never even wore a bike helmet back then,and I scratched up my arms and legs riding that bike I had but never had a head injury.
We had a merry-go-round in our local park until a few years ago. So much fun😅
None of these are dangerous if the parents do their job and supervise. As a kid, I had chemistry sets with cyanide and arsenic as components. Parents these days think toys are babysitters.
In 6th grade school in the 1970s my teachers taught us about nuclear science with a Geiger counter and contained samples of radioactive materials .
Idk man.... the flubber toy had 35 % rashes cases lol that one could have been on the company
Amazing Thanks List 25 and Mike 👍❤️
I had an easy bake oven in the late 70s. I also had a clacker in the late 80s. The wood burning kits are still available to purchase at craft stores. I couldn't get enough slap bracelets in HS. If parents purchase these items for their children it requires prudent parenting. I didn't get hurt at all because my parents made sure I didn't use them when I was alone or to harm someone else. Prudent parenting.
Don't get it if you cannot monitor your child using it. Toy companies only want to make money.
Saving this to watch tonight but had to say how much I LOVE your tshirt 😍
23. I had the redesign in the '90s. Those were made of modern plastics, and the balls were attached to handles by rods rather than string.
FINALLY! someone that has the same view of "hoverboards" that i do... stupid name for it, give us actual hoverboards like the ones on BTTF, don't come out with this poorly made slop and call them hoverboards when they clearly don't hover!
by the way, my sister still has the set of lawn darts that my father bought when they first came out, but she keeps them safely stored away in her closet
My parents have way too many of these items still stored in closets LOL and the hoverboard my child still has sitting in his bedroom to this day... I'm fine with that lol
I still have every single mighty max action set ever released on the market!
How many people are killed or injured riding bike
There not recalled
But they did come up with chain guards, hand brakes and bike helmets.
My older brother broke a tooth when he was twelve. Went over his handle bars. Too true.
I received a wood burning kit for Christmas at 12 years old in the late 70’s. I might have burned myself once but then I didn’t do it again.
Because our generation wasn’t stupid. 😏
My older brother burned himself with a soldering iron several times, as a young teenager, as in 13/14.
I had one and was always SUPERVISED.
I had a Wood Burning Kit in the early 70's. It was awesome and as someone who was creative, I loved it.
I still have my clackers ❤
So do I! ❤️
@christinacarr8971 well at least ours didn't shatter 🤣 my children played with them. My youngest son was just playing with them recently and hit his own hand and wants nothing to do with them. What a softy 😂😂
@@Nanner823 😆 🤣
In the UK we have really high standards in everything.
you're being funny, right?
'cause that's how i took it. 🤣
Leading to the Reliant Robin, eh?
I can see if something has asbestos or toxic chemicals in them but geez, how coddled are kids and why aren’t the parents going over the hazards with them. I’m 67 and we had pogo sticks, BB guns, would climb the tallest tree with the weakest branches and play games on pavement. I can see making things as safe as possible for kids, but that doesn’t mean you totally eliminate them.
While I’m sure that lasers damage the cornea, the most dangerous issue is burning the retina…permanent blindness isn’t too fun, so says my right eye…
I remember yard darts in the 70s. There was also a Pizza Hut version of the Easy Bake Oven.
Yeah it weeded out the stupid I miss those days
Jarts
I played lawn darts for years. I never got hit or no injuries. The reason my friends and I ere not dumb enough to stand behind the circle ! When the o5her person was going to throw their darts. You get out of the way! 😆. If you’re 50 feet away, and you get hit… that means your friend wants to hurt you! 15:13
Lol. I still have that easy bake oven. New in box.
Bells hanging on a string... Seems like I've heard that somewhere before. "For those of you that will not sing..." Oh yeah, I went there.
...and now it's in my head. Thank you.
10/10 song. Also proof that humanity will never change as far as that's concerned 🥹 it's like the one unifying thing in humanity and it's BEAUTIFUL
@wmdkitty Glad I could help. 😁
9:36 well the government is gonna have to MAKE ME! i can 95% guarantee there is still a set floating around my family somewhere.
Chernobyl used Uranium 235, not 238.
I had a word burning kit! It was awesome!
3:16 dragonflyz (skydancers for boys) skydancers and dragonflyz also had their own cartoon series
And could get caught in a kids hair too.
The first version of the Easy Bake oven, didn't look like a microwave and the opening was just big enough to slide the small pans through. I know this because my sister had one when we were kids and I used it as well. They should have stuck with that design!! The calcium carbide, if I'm not mistaken, was also used as a heat source for some other stuff back then. I mining lamp comes to mind I think. I had clackers. I had a wood burning kit when I was a kid but wasn't allowed to use it much. Coincidently, I did get a soldering iron to use since I was into repairing things. I left it plugged up next to the window and forgot about it for hours, then seen it glowing red!! LOL Wood burning iron, soldering iron, both the same thing. Never had the creepy crawler thing, but I did have a machine with metal plates where you can make cowboys, Indians and horses. It used these weird cylindrical pieces of plastic with a slot in them. You put it in the top and slide the molds under it and pressed the lever down and it filled the molds. I was never allowed to make anything with it, although I did sneak and make a few with it. No idea whatever happened to it. Used to have lawn darts. They just gave them to us and never supervised us. We threw them up in the air and watched them come down, but stayed far away from them when they were coming down.
Oh God I remember my daughter getting her trapped in the eating cabbage patch doll 😮
I had one of those sets, burning kits. Clackers, Belt bucker gun! Glad I was born in the 50's!
№ 24. Don't forget "You'll shoot your EYE out KID! 🤓😎✌🏼
Like most Boomers, I grew up with Lawn Darts, Easy Bake Ovens, Vacuforms, chemistry sets, and hard plastic water-filled rockets launched by pumping them full of air. That’s one reason we laugh at “trigger warnings” like foul language and smoking. Please!
Boomers are the worst generation ever; and don’t understand the ridiculousness of laughing at the way a generation was raised when they are the ones that raised them to be like that.
I loved these toys when I was a kid. They were only dangerous if you used them wrong. If you insisted on being stupid, you got what you deserved. Although parents should monitor, kids properly taught responsible use, these toys were no more dangerous than the world outside. Imagine if we banned bicycles? They caused much more harm than anything on this list!
"I won't swallow my shape shifting friend!" As a Nana of 8 grandchildren, I spit my drink laughing. My youngest grandchild and the only boy in the bunch embraced that whole vibe. He will eat ANYTHING! 😂
I have a laser pointer well north of 10mW. I bought it on Amazon before the ban went into effect. It's around 3500mW.
Laser pointer of the kind you're showing are banned from sale in the UK. It is a criminal offence to use one to shine at vehicles, in particular planes in flight. People have been prosecuted and found guilty of using them to attack drivers and pilots.
Most of these would have been absolutely FINE if parents would do their job and PARENT. But no, no, it's somehow the manufacturers' fault that Mommy didn't supervise Janey using that EZ-Bake, or whatever other "dangerous" toys you want to list.
For most of these toys that are sooo dangerous where were the parents? Aren't they supposed to supervise their kids
just another example of how kids grew dumber after gen x........
how DID we survive? 😱
there's nothing wrong with any of these toys, it's the children and their parents that need to be recalled.
(well, lithium batteries are an issue, but they're not toys!)
There should be a rating system in place for EVERYTHING sold to Mankind and there Offspring that cannot be legally challenged so long as it is Honest and explains the fundamental risk of each product toy or otherwise. Some kids are way more responsible than some adults and will only grow and become Great by learning safely at their own pace. I owned my first firearm at 13 years old and handled dangerous objects and work without injuries to anyone including myself. But I have seen Adults who should😮 know better injure themselves and others by simply being selfish greedy Assholes. It really depends on the individual but so not limit society because of the foolish few who bring everything down with them.
If parents are doing their job and paying attention to their children most of the toys would be fine. But parents have their heads buried in their phones, and not on their children.
I didn’t need an easy bake oven because my mom made us all start cooking when we were about five. Making breakfast for the family ie all 7 of us.
Did you know that you can buy an AK made out of Legos and it shoots rubber bands! 1:1 scale! Only about $50! Hello from Idaho USA! 🤠
These kind of toys made life fun. Now we pad everything
Broken ribs from a foam skydancer🤔
The speed of the projectile versus a child's not yet fully hardened bones.
Yeah that's the parents problem...
19:20 I love how u held back ur laugh🤣🤣
You left out one, the Water Wiggle. I had one and it wrapped around me and a lamp post in our yard. when it had me totally pinned the water jet was spraying me in the face. Luckily my mom saw it and turned the water off. If she and my dad were not paying attention to me I could have easily drowned.
Kids and maturity are 2 words that don’t always go together especially if the kids are in a group
Growing up in 80’s and 90’s I remember a lot of these toys, lawn darts and slap bracelets especially, I don’t recall anyone getting injured but it doesn’t surprise me, even social media hurts kids nowadays
I had a wood burning kit when I was 7 in 1987
Its called survival of the fitest.
You might want to double check when creepy crawlers came out because I seen the commercials on TV when I was a child and I was born in 1982
They first came out in '64, and were pulled from shelves in '73. They got discontinued altogether in '78, but then came back in '92
You mean you SAW.
And blinding air pilots.
If anyone is wondering how these toys were available for kids i suggest looking up Child Labor Laws at the times these toys were available.
I haven't looked it up myself because I'm fairly certain that the CLL weren't all that protective of kids either.
The toys had nothing to do with sweatshops.
@nicfisher8266 So according to you there is no corelation between the common sense kids needed to work with dangerous machinery or play with dangerous toys?
I remember creepy crawlers!!
But did they die ?
The only thing wrong with any of those toys , was the fact they didn't come with common sense .
I was a kid in the the early 90s my favorite toys were skateboards a pogo stick and a daisy red rider that destroyed many of my grandfathers beer cans. I was stacking beermids in 92😂
My youngest daughter received a second degree burn on her leg from her sister's easy bake oven. Her foot caught the cord and sent the "cake pan" flying out of the oven when it was super hot . She still has a scar to this day. I never would have got one for her sister if it was that easy to get second degree burns.
I’m 66. I got my creepy crawler set when I was six or seven and I loved it! I did get a nasty burn on the tip of my thumb. I learned to be more careful. It was the best thing ever for a creative kid who didn’t have enough outlets for said creativity. I work as a 3-D artist today. I’m a potter and work with 2300 degree Fahrenheit firings in a kiln and pit fires. I’m still damn careful and still, on very rare occasions, get burned.
Between my kids and I we had 11 of these. I missed out on the chemistry set with Uranium, but I do remember getting a chemistry set around 1972 with arsenic and the chemicals needed to make gun powder.
Yay early to the show got excited when I saw a new episode
I find these videos interesting. We had many of these toys and we all survived. When you hear the types of injuries it makes you wonder how skateboards have survived, considering the number of people actually killed on skateboards.
Glad i grew up in the 60s , so much fun, we had common sense ans still had fun. Loved clackers
I still have a couple sets of lawn darts from the late 70s and early 80s! I don't care what anybody says. It's still lots of fun, and as long as you don't stand right in front of or in the line of where they're throwing, you'll be good... But if you are a moron and stand with the hoop at your feet and try to have them hurl, the dart into the hoop at your feet and you get hit well, then that's your fault and your problem, and we shouldn't have to suffer for your stupidity, and if you allowed your children to play with these lawn Darts, unsupervised and your child accidentally oft themselves, well, guess what that makes you a bad parent!
You know, I remember these toys, they had caution warnings with them. I don't ever remember any kids in the neighborhood getting hurt by them, and I grew up in a suburb of Washington D.C.
Laser pointers have also been aimed at aircraft flying overhead. Not cool. The FAA would like to have a word with you.....
That happened very recently in my area! Of course they tracked the person down by the next day
@@TommyTheCat42 Lasering at a plane is a federal rap.
Loved playing Lawn Darts when I was younger.
We didn't have clackers. BUT WE had conkers. Which we soaked in vinegar at least overnight 😂😂😂. Now how many remember that one??????
Dead Rat Conkers...
I remember slap bracelets I used to get them a lot in loot bags as a kid when I went to birthday parties.🎉
This made me google Super Elastic Bubble Plastic that I played with in the 70’s 😂 I knew back then that the chemical smell emitting from it couldn’t be healthy and sure enough they stopped making it sometime in the 80’s that stuff was probably cancerous, it contained a chemical in nail polish remover 😂
Lmao I had a few of these toys
What happened to 0arental supervision
Lawn darts! No matter how hard you tried to land on your siblings and cousins... somehow it missed every time!
If Football wasn't so profitable, it would have been banned in schools too
This 'SnowFlake Generation' we de-evolved into has Banned Every Toy from my childhood! . Great Video! These kids need to know how to have fun and Ride a Bicycle Off a Ramp and start having a good time for a change!
My dad had a kid sized side by side double barrel shotgun that you stuffed corks in the end of the barrels. when you cocked the hammers it moved a plunger back, there were 2 triggers just like the real deal. when pulled the corks flew at an alarming rate. I got to play with it a few times. It was a lot of fun for a boy for sure. it was more than 40 years ago that I got to play with it, and I can still see it in my minds eye.
Finally someone else says the same thing about hoverboard not actually hovering.
How is your second Channel going?
This is the second list 25 that I've watched in the last couple days and it starts freaking out in the middle of the video. I don't know how to explain I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems with this. This is one of my top platforms and it pains me to stop it in the middle but I just can't deal with what's going on.😢
my phone gets stupid like that sometimes.
just gotta stop the video and restart your phone.
when the phone comes back up, you can pick up the video where you left off.
i have problems with many videos, so it's not list 25, it's your phone.
The wood burning kit also came with a 2ft electric cord
Lawn Darts were never promoted as a childs toy as I remember it being for adults. It was big at picnics and backyards in the 1970's
Around the same time as "Creepy Crawlers" was "The Time Machine" by Mattel. Small 2" plastic squares would be put into a clear plastic chamber which heated up and made it open and reveal a bug or dinosaur. That sucker got hot!, I had one. There was also "Shrinky Dinks" which were plastic figures you needed to put in the oven to shrink!
If I remember correctly, we had almost all of these, but our favorite toy was our neighbor’s pointy horned bull, Pete.
Creepy Crawlers, yep remember them fondly. Yet again, forget whether got at the store or at a garage sale.
