According to the article. My vote goes for the good old fashion bb gun, but because I guess that's technically not a toy, here's the official list.

There is no such thing as dangerous toys, only dangerous children."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

At least you can look at it like this...

Re: 10 deadliest toys of all time....
Very true.
Granted, I was being sarcastic. Some of those toys are crazy. Toxic food that heats up to 300 degree temperatures? How in the world did anyone ever think that was safe?
I can understand things like the Cabbage Patch Kid or the Twirling/Flying Wing girl thing (whatever it is). But, 300 degree temperatures? Toxic food? That's just absurd."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: 10 deadliest toys of all time....
I remember getting BB-guns, wood burning kit, and a .22 rifle for Christmas. My parents taught me to be responsible. They didn't need to worry about me maiming myself or someone else. They didn't raise an idiot.:wink:Comment

Now I know why I never got the Creepy Crawlers for Christmas or my birthday...Comment

Re: 10 deadliest toys of all time....
FYI...Creepy Crawlers were not edible back then. You'd have to have been a blithering idiot to actually try to eat one of those things!!
Another honorable mention and something we had around that was actually pretty handy:
Hey! Check out that "one size fits all" safety goggles!Comment

Re: 10 deadliest toys of all time....
Maybe it's just me, but even as a toddler I never saw a reason to put something foreign in my mouth.
Why would kids think that putting something like Creepy Crawlers would be safe to eat?
If I were a parent I would purposely not buy this for my kids because there's only one purpose and it's to eat. I wouldn't want my kids eating that crap even if it weren't toxic."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.
