The Most Dangerous Toys of Gen X Youth
from Gen X Men Pod · host bdrohland
Everyone is clamoring for an "80s summer" or "90s summer" for their kids.The problem? Most parents don't actually want their kids to have a real Gen X summer.Back then there was no supervision. Just bikes, woods, creeks, neighborhood games, and one simple rule:"Don't come home until dark...and don't be late."Then there were the toys...Dangerous toys.How about Super Elastic Bubble Plastic (yes...the one with ethyl acetate and a little straw)? Or the legendary Jarts? BB guns? Bottle rockets? M-80s? Easy-Bake Ovens? Wood-burning kits? Somehow we survived them all.Join Bill and Gary as they take a trip back to the summers that made Gen X...complete with questionable parenting decisions, dangerous toys, and stories that would probably get us grounded if anyone had been filming.Band-Aids not included.#GenX #GenXMen #GenXPodcast #80s #90s #80sKids #90sKids #Nostalgia #DangerousToys #Jarts #BBGun #EasyBakeOven #BottleRockets #ChildhoodMemories
