104 year old Eddy Goldfarb has invented over 800 iconic toys- some of my favorites, too. He made Stompers, which were HUGE for me as a kid (I still have several). He also made talking teeth, Kerplunk, just TONS of stuff.

I recall the battleships were like the Legos of today...very painful in the night.

It took me until this morning to realize that the Spirograph jingle is just "Singin' in the the Bathtub." #jingle #ClassicToys #duh
