Cool at first, but somehow they'd find a way to break. It would confuse me how they'd consistently get tangled up - you know, how a couple rings would get crooked and then the thing wouldn't go down the stairs right. Then you'd call your Dad over to bend it back but at that point the only thing you could do was buy another one.

Mine were always tangled up within days. By the time I was old enough to play with them responsibly, I found them boring.

slinky was boring. what fun is it to watch a spring walk down the stairs? the newness of that toy lasted about half a second.

When I was little (er, LITTLER) my sister's boyfriend got my slinky in a knot. I never forgave him for that!

I thought these were pretty fun as a kid, but looking back, I now realize these things only lasted like 5 minutes before being all tangled up.

After makeing it walk down the stairs once or twice, I was through with it. Never saw the excitement in it.

Slinkys were a big deal for awhile when I was a kid. Once you did the down the stairs thing it was pretty much all over. Eventually, they will twist the wrong direction, become warped and spend the rest of their toy life laying in the back of a closet or bottom of a toy box. That is until your mother decides to toss it out.

One time, when my physics teacher was out of the classroom. We builte a giant staircase out of books and chairs and raced slinkies down it. Great fun.

The simplest, pointless toys of them all. I had alot of fun with mine. I spent a good half hour on the stair with it.
