Remember clackers? And Wizzzer tops? I want some!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

My parents threw away all my childish things, and now I want them back!

1. Clackers were fun. But loud.

[Finder]

2. and banned in some places...

if I recall correctly.

[Shell Beau]

3. I don't doubt it!

[ronnykmarshall]

13. and deadly!

I had so many bruises on my arms from those bastards.

[pdx_prog]

4. I remember the clackers

from the late 60's, early 70's.....about 2" diameter hard plastic balls on 8" strings. They hurt like a mother when they slammed into one of your wrists...

I don't remember wizzer tops though..

[Clintmax]

5. *sniped!*

And they caused bruises from hell!

[Hugin]

6. I've got two pairs...

Want 'em?

Green plastic with metallic flakes... Nylon cord with plastic ring.

Sound familiar?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

7. That's it!

My brother was good with them; I was never that coordinated with them. Oh, the memories!

[Hugin]

12. I can't clack them on the top of the swing like they did in the commercial

Never that coordinated.

8. Clackers were the BEST! We used to...

take 'em, after the string broke, and tie a longer string on them and then use them as bolas (sp?) to throw around the legs and trip up anything that moved. God love the long suffering dogs I've known and loved. I used to ride my lab. Never hurt any of them though.

14. Here's a pic of the evil things.

[Dave Reynolds]

9. I remember the tops,

my brother and I had one, seems like late '60s.

I had this one

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

10. Yes - I loved those!!!

We had several. I might have to get one from eBay!

[Horse with no Name]

11. ooohhhh I loved clackers

I think they were banned though,lol.

[yellowdogintexas]

15. we all have clackers at our desks at my job. If we get someone

to let us transfer them to the sales reps, we rattle the clacker then everybody else on the floor does too. It is insane.
