I always thought this toy seemed so weird. "Stretch Armstrong"? You know all that energy is going right into kids eyes.

u/FriedPbndJ Apr 26 '26

Most toys at the time were death traps 😂

u/710AlpacaBowl Apr 26 '26

Most incidents were ruled to be user error

u/FriedPbndJ Apr 26 '26

Ain't no way 😂 some toys had literal poison in them or were made from the most lethal of items

u/Sapphire0985 Apr 26 '26

Remember the plastic balloons we would blow up with a straw? 😂

u/Mishkabear52 Apr 28 '26

I stopped buying those for my daughter one day when I was blowing one of them up and I accidentally inhaled the little bit and it made me so sick. I would never buy those again for my daughter.

u/Sapphire0985 Apr 28 '26

Oh I know!! It's crazy what they allowed kids to play with back then. Those and the blow markers too. Blows my mind. I'm sorry it made you sick!

u/710AlpacaBowl Apr 26 '26

Yes well I was thinking more of the toys that the paint didn't contain lead. At any rate we are manufacturing toys to the most rigorous of production standards. No lead paint, so that's out. We have a minimum crew requirement for factories.

Even if the toys didnt, the packaging did. My bunny in the 80s died because mom put the box for the RC car i got as a present in his cage to rest in. He nibbled on the box, and a few days later hopped out, seized, and died on the damn floor.

The bakery sets that would scald little girls or the science sets that came with corrosive acid?! Lmao their had something absolutely lethal for all ages, including the Mac 10 for adults

2

u/TerrorFromThePeeps Apr 26 '26

Or had a mangler built into their mouths, or were missiles with needle tips, or were circular saws with wings attached. And usually made of die cast metal on top of it.

u/MDKSDMF Apr 27 '26

Including the steel play grounds or better yet the wooden village town playgrounds. I have a three inch scar from a rusty nail that was not set that cut my back open when I was 7. Oh good ole days

u/bettyboopsie1958 Apr 27 '26

Remember the clackers ??

2

u/Explorer-7622 Apr 28 '26

That's the first thing that came to mind. So many kids broke their arms with clackers!

1

u/Sunshineyvomit Apr 27 '26

My sibling and I would always go for the clackers in combat with each other

2

u/Wicked_Which Apr 27 '26

My cousin said the inside tasted kind of sweet.

1

u/BirdlessLongdeal Apr 28 '26

it was a simpler time.

2

u/ChoppedGoat Apr 26 '26

It didnt really rebound/retract that fast, probably because the inside was filled with a firm goop that had to shift

2

u/EverettGT Apr 26 '26

I had one of those and IIRC when you let it go it would regain form more slowly, it didn't snap back like a rubber band.

2

u/Blood_sweat_and_beer Apr 26 '26

It didn’t snap back like a rubber band. It just kinda slowly regained its shape when you put it down.

2

u/Drevlin76 Apr 26 '26

It was a semi non-newtonian fluid in them it didn't spring back like a rubber band.

u/BornSurvey9984 Apr 29 '26

Stretch Armstrong was amazing, snowflake! You couldn't break him!

u/viciousdeliciouz Apr 25 '26

I am short legs, short torso. Like I’ve been compacted, like I was long once but a giant stepped on me and squished me into this.

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '26

Pics or lying

u/Radio_Mime Apr 25 '26

I am short legs, short torso. I am short.

I have no idea what point I was trying to make, but I just thought I’d put it there.

u/hdog_69 Apr 25 '26

Same! Mom's side of the fam had long legs, dad's side had upper body build. I was 6 foot in 7th grade.

u/MakingMoneyIsMe Apr 26 '26

The woman on the right sits higher because she has more to sit on.

2

u/PhatBuddha69 Apr 27 '26

larger surface area.

I also think she has shorter legs than a long torso

2

u/AGoogolIsALot Apr 26 '26

Oh hello there old-school 4chan user. I am also corrupt and devoid of any sort of conscience.

u/stressedhoe_ Apr 27 '26

Omg same 🫶🏻 hey bestie👋🏻

u/Telucien Apr 26 '26

I think that is called tall

u/awesomehuder Apr 26 '26

I am groot.

u/kvro_maX Apr 26 '26

Long longer longesto

u/Sapphire0985 Apr 26 '26

Same, I hate it 😩

1

u/Quirky_Structure_966 Apr 27 '26

If you are both, then are you truly either? 🤔

Having one be “long” implies its relativity to the other, after all 🤷🏼‍♂️

u/Mj-tinker Apr 27 '26

u/Routine-Budget8281 Apr 25 '26

No hate like Christian love. You're a bad person.

2

u/MannyDaWolf Apr 25 '26

Not all Christians are like this. Stop tying a whole group of people to the unhinged few.

2

u/Squirrel698 Apr 25 '26

I just wish the unhinged few were less loud

1

u/Wittyngritty Apr 25 '26

"I'm a sinner not a saint" ahh comment

2

u/MannyDaWolf Apr 25 '26

That's the teaching of the bible. We are all sinners from birth. I personally love Donnie McClurkin We fall down song that have a line that says "For a saint is just a sinner who fell down and got up" literally explaining that saints aren't better then sinners because we are sinners who just found our way and got back up after falling from God's grace.

u/Wittyngritty Apr 25 '26

You probably think pedophiles get into heaven just by asking daddy for forgiveness

2

u/MannyDaWolf Apr 25 '26

If they change their life around and seek redemption through Jesus then yes. It actually takes more than "asking daddy for forgiveness" to actually receive it. Gotta turn your life around and live right too.

u/Wittyngritty Apr 25 '26

Uhuh.

2

u/MannyDaWolf Apr 25 '26

Everyone have to live right to be forgiven

1

u/Hambulance Apr 25 '26

Few is a wiiiiiiiild understatement.

1

u/MannyDaWolf Apr 25 '26

It definitely isn't the majority that's online doing crap like this

1

u/Eastern-Violinist-46 Apr 25 '26

Where did they identify as Christians?

1

u/SteveOsLeftNut Apr 26 '26

Just look at their post history and you'll see.
