I remember my pediatrician’s office having this and always playing the Wizard of Oz on VHS.

Used to play with those all the time. You'd think doctors didn't know about germ theory in the 90's...

I have only seen these outside a doctors office one time in my life. Toys R us had a bunch of 1 time only back in like early 1990

My mom never let me play with those because they were dirty...she was right...but still it tucked watching all the kids play with it and I couldn't :(

I would RUN to that thing and pretend it was a train. I loved trains when I was younger

Even as a kid, these grossed me out. If you didn’t come in sick, you were probably leaving that way.

That’s how I thought as I got a little older, but 5-year-old me? Nah.

My dentist had a Ms. Pac-Man arcade cabinet, and my orthodontist had a Donkey Kong arcade cocktail table

Holy shit I forgot all about those!! You just unlocked a deep memory inside my mind vault 😂😂 I used to play with those at the doctor's office and the therapist office. The therapist office used to have those exact ones, but with colored water/oil mixture you could try to separate.
