POOF-Slinky 100/3PKBL Metal Original Slinky in Box, Silver, 3-Pack
The POOF-Slinky 100/3PKBL Metal Original Slinky continues to be a constant entertainer as it walks down stairs or comes alive in a child's hands. This classic toy stretches like an accordion, bounces and walks down steps one end at a time while making that classic Slinky sound. Toy history was made when Richard James conducted an experiment with tension springs. During the experiment, one of the springs fell to the floor and began to “walk”. The Slinky debuted 1945 at Gimbals Department Store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and all (400) Slinkys for sale were purchased in 90-minutes. Since then, over 300-million Slinkys have been sold worldwide. The Slinky is filled with nostalgia and has been featured in Disney Pixar’s “Toy Story” movie franchise. It's the official state toy of Pennsylvania and famous for one of the most popular jingles of all time, “It’s Slinky”. Though it was developed to be a toy, the Slinky was used by soldiers in Vietnam as an antenna and a therapy tool for hand eye coordination. This original Slinky is made of metal for long lasting wiggly-jiggly Slinky fun! This Slinky comes in a 3-pack, individually boxed, made in the U.S.A. and perfect for presents, party favors, Easter baskets, grab bags, prizes and stocking stuffers.
