When I was a kid I only recall marbles and bubblegum cards. I've probably forgotten something. But marketing is driving these fads more aggressively than it did in the fifties.
Boy, that's the truth. Likewise, when I was a kid I remember marbles being popular. I remember my dad showing me a marble game where you cut a small hole in the top of a shoebox. The challenger would place the shoebox at his feet and try to drop his marble through the hole from waist level. If they made it, the kid with the shoe box had to give up 2 marbles. If the kid missed, the kid with the shoebox kept the marble. I think that was my first introduction to gambling.
I grew up in the 70's so we also had slinkeys, silly putty, frisbees, and super balls. Basically anything made by a company called "Wham-O".
