I owned 9 of these 'toys' while growing up.
Does that mean my parents didn't want me?

The list left out Lawn-Darts, which was the king of cripplers. We 3 had sets of those.

Lawn darts are notorious for injuries.

When I was a kid I bought this toy that was just two balls that you strike together to make sparks.

I can't imagine something like that being marketed these days.

Dangerous toys were never that bad, especially if you and your friends were busy making homemade explosives and playing with b.b. guns/crossbows.
