Re: Thursday trivia

Maybe toys over 40 (or more) years old that are still made and given for Christmas ? I remember some of them from when I was very young, but I'm not that old (50 next month).

Well the first t hing I noticed was... they were all in alphabetical order :)

Perhaps a list of toys that children actually play with and have survived the test of time?

That's the first, and so far only, thing I have been able to come up with, as well, although I suspect that was not what Dan had in mind,

"Cardboard box" seems to be the odd one out when considering the other suggestions.
