The ovens for kids, which were essential just a household bulb back then 🤣
sea-monkeys. what do I win?
That Big Track thing, the one where, in the advert, the lad programmed it to take an apple to his dad. His dad would have probably died of starvation by the time he worked out all the commands to get it there. A more frustrating toy i never encountered.
There isnt one. This thing was soulcrushing.
The mini light sabre my Mum keeps in her bedroom drawer. It doesn’t even light up.
Ha! I refuse to accept this was disappointing! I ALWAYS wanted one of these as a child and never ever got one.
This will remain on a pedestal for as long as I live, as the greatest invention/toy Father Christmas never left me under the tree.
I loved my mr.frosty. used it all the time
Mousetrap. Hours of building for it to never work, ever, not once, for anyone, not even the advert.
I wouldn’t know because I never got one.
I always wanted one but we could never afford one 😞
To all those who had one, I hate you.
Pet Rock. Not sure what I was expecting.
Stretch Armstrong.
​
Me. “Muuuuuum, I stretched it.”
Mum. “stretch it some more then”
Me. “Daaad, I stretched it”
Dad. “stretch it again then”
​
Me. “Im bored with this shite. i want some fireworks”
I had one. My brother stuffed a load of bread in it and put it in the cupboard so it went mouldy and we could never get it clean again. My brother is a cunt.
I never got one of these so just assumed I was missing out on delicious slush
Buckaroo. Every set was broken the first time it was played with.
Remember those aliens in eggs with goo? Everyone always said they gave birth to other aliens, and obviously, mine never did because…. none of them did, obviously. Lol
Moon Shoes
Spirograph.
Mr frosty is such fun! He makes drinks for everyone!
Dunno if it was a toy really, but that cadbury’s piggy bank thing that dispensed little chocolate bars, that you KNOW your parents would never refill, ever.
It really is total rubbish isn’t it. Doesn’t grind the ice at all. My kids were gutted and I ended up using a rolling pin and some greaseproof to crush the ice.
Everyone wanted one. Everyone is bitter they didn’t get one.
I got one. All your parents were right, it was shit.
Gooey Louie. Always wanted one as a kid, mom always said no it was Gross. First Xmas after I moved out mom brought me one. Truly awful, one game and it wS never played again
Furby was the worst
Those mini dairy milk dispensers. Once you ran out you couldn’t buy any more
Are you joking! This toy fucking slapped!
*inhale*
“Mr frosty is such fun, he makes treats for everyone, pop the ice under his hat, turn the handle just like that, swirl in the flavour that you like, and delicious lollies mmmmmm that’s nice 😊 “

I am so glad my parents ignored me on that one.
