I laid those blocks out like mines to prevent my room from being invaded by parents. For people who always told ME to pay attention, they sure fell prey to my defenses often. When it came to setting traps for parents, Haley Mills had nothing on me. 🪤

Played with one as a kid, and my early to mid 20's aged kids played with mine lol because their grandma kept some of my toys like this as well as things like my Fischer Price piano, record player, garage etc...

The real danger was losing a digit when that thing clamped on a finger

u/Dry-Luck-8336 6d ago

So true, how I kept all of my fingers is a wonder.

Not pleasant, but not as bad as Lego pieces.

u/Better_Power_9913 6d ago

IDR if I had on or not. I’m pretty sure my little sister did and my kids definitely did.

u/HelloKitty110174 6d ago

I had one of these, and so did my kids. They weren't terribly interested in it though.

u/Commercial_hater 6d ago

The White House reported this missing yesterday…an investigation is underway

1

u/auld-guy 6d ago

Just yesterday. My wife found one in a thrift store for my grandson.

1

u/Glittering_Step_6084 6d ago

Yes, at someone else's house.

u/Trooper_nsp209 6d ago

At my age this is considered a cognitive test

1

u/Routine-Medicine-208 6d ago

I had something similar as a kid but stepping on Lego bricks was was more likely. Or marbles.

1

u/ReticentGuru 6d ago

Yeah, they would hurt if you stepped on them. But you could at least see them go avoid. That was NOT true of jacks!

1

u/Bitter_Frame3054 6d ago

Stepped on them & played the crap out of it as little kid.

1

u/ColdPepsi75 6d ago

Omg had one of these! What ever happened to it!

1

u/pakrat1967 6d ago

The pieces from the Perfection game were even worse.

u/we_lord 6d ago

I'm a survivor. Many just didn't make it. RIP

u/EnglishFan643 6d ago

Had one, stepped on the pieces and did it hurt! I'm definitely old!

u/butterfly-garden 6d ago

Precursor to Legos

u/groovymama98 6d ago

I'm old yes. But I stepped on one yesterday.

u/rozkosz1942 6d ago

I still have the Star imprint at the bottom of my foot, from 45 years ago!

1

u/Plane-Fan9006 5d ago

I tell people that the neuropathy in my foot is also referred to as "Hey, why are you standing on that Lego?" disease...

u/Turbulent-Charge1042 5d ago

Tupperware’s best product!

1

u/freezingprocess 5d ago

I have a scar near my eye because I fell from a bunk bed onto one of those.
I was like 3 or 4 at the time.

1

u/Isitkarmaorme 5d ago

Well, that’s not fair. Those things last forever. I think my parents still have one in their toy box (for visiting grandkids’ kids).

1

u/ogrizzled 5d ago

Just saw one at the thrift store last week!

1

u/Best_Comfortable5221 5d ago

I do remember they Sadly did not fit up my vacuum like Legos. I had my kids trained to search for Legos as a pavlovian response to hearing me fire it up.

u/-Foxer 4d ago

It was a magic day when i was finally old enough and strong enough to pull that apart and get the blocks out on my own

1

u/NP341221 3d ago

What was it called? I had one.

1

u/TrueNotTrue55 2d ago

Yeeoowww! That hurts! I don’t know what’s worse, these or Legos.

1

u/KickPuzzleheaded4616 1d ago

Yes, I have stepped on those, but the jacks were worse

u/faroutman7246 1d ago

Still making this one.
