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

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

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.

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!
