Do you remember your first Boink?
Remember Boinks?


I got my first Boink Toy at a Candy and Toy convention that my Mom took me to when I was really young. She worked for a candy company that was showing at the event.

What other retro random toys do you remember growing up with?

Gak. Lots of Gak. And all of the Gak rip offs. (Was it 'Gak' or 'Gak!'?)

I don't remember any boinks from my childhood. I did have some wacky wall walkers.

I wasn't allowed to have the plastic bubbles because they were a "fire hazard," haha

Never stick your finger into the spinning part for the fun of it. I always liked balancing this one on a string.
