Here is a toy that you may remember if you grew up in the Eighties. Rubber Poppers
It was a simple concept. Turn the rubber popper inside out and wait for it to ping into the air.
Parents everywhere would exclaim “I’ll buy you one, but do not put it in your mouth”!

Retro Rubber Poppers
This retro toy from the late eighties though had to be tried in all sorts of circumstances. What happens when it pops in water? How far can it jump off the stairs. Good point, what does happen when it pops in your mouth?
Such a simple toy but one to remember to your grandchildren. I bet health and safety has now banned them – shame.
OMG!! My brother had a big popper that he decided sto suction to his forehead. It left a massive purple circle on there for a few days. I think we got it out of a cap’n crunch or quaker rice squares box.
Great memory – love the thought of his purple mark for days
I did the same thing… Couldn’t get it off without help. My 3rd grade teacher walked me out after school to explain to my mother why I had a hickey on my forehead.
@ Mandy Thats sounds really funny.
I got my poppers out of a cereal box too
I liked to place these on a table or counter as I walked through an occupied room… And then wait around the corner for the inevitable startled scream a minute later.
My nine year old son came home with one of these today I have not seen one for years since I was a child such fun loved collecting different ones
this was usless
They are not banned I have one in school
