Things you can no longer buy
I miss my Jarts. I've found some on eBay last year for $75 and now wish I bought them.

Hell yes! Jarts were huge in my family. We played them in the backyard of the house when I was growing up. We still have a set and just used them last summer with family. They're pretty illegal now, at least around here. They can f**k you up pretty bad if you get hit with one. That's part of their charm.

Like cola was around for the duration of an eye blink. I used to "like" it. And Schweppes Bitter Lemon! Since Chris brought up sodas....

My dad forbid me to use mines when he saw a big bruise on my forearm.

I'm not sure, but it's hard to imagine that you could still buy those beginner chemistry sets. The one I remember (circa 1963) came in an orange, tin suitcase-like deal, with a dozen or more maybe 1-ounce glass bottles of various powders, ranging from white to gray to burnt red to black (I'm sure they had names--I only knew them by color). You could mix and match to your heart's content, adding water (or other liquids) and seeing what would happen--hoping for and often getting at least some overflowing bubble reaction, even better stinking up the house with a sulphuric compound. I always figured later on that some percentage of that stuff, either pure or in combination with others, had to have been potentially fatal.

Yeah, I had one of those. It even came with a do-it-yourself hydroponic garden. I didn't care much about that. I was too busy trying to come up with some kind of poison I could kill the next door neighbor kid with. Never worked.

The idea lives on in Beyblades. They're essentially Super battling Tops, weighted and, in some cases, powered. You feel like you need an engineering degree to put some together. The funny thing is, they're listed for "age 8 and older." The 5-year-olds all love them.

I can't even remember the name of these toys, and I spent countless hours playing with it.
It had molds in the shape of dragon parts. You added this liquid goop to the mold. There were many colors of goop to choose from. Once the mold was filled, you put it in the oven to bake. Out came a rubber part of a dragon. Each part could be fit together to create your own dragon.
The other toy was made by Mattel. Each item started out as a small cube - about the size of a checker with the word Mattel embedded in it. This cube was also baked in an oven (like the magic ovens) where the cube would transform into a creature. When you got bored with the creature you reversed the process squishing back into a cube.

i don't know about parents not putting that beer can down while watching the kids play jarts, but i have all three games.
clackers, jarts, and whirling tops. that's older from some of the older siblings.
my kids play in the back yard with the jarts and love em.
they know they are dangerous and respect their pets too.
it seems thought that a cat or dog will knowingly sit in the plastic circle and defy anyone trying to throw the dart.
that's what make me laugh. the damned cat sits and spreads out her body and the oldest has to chase her away with catnip.
or the dogs will grab them with their teeth and run off.
who fooling who, here? they know what devils they are.
that's when mom has to come out and retrieve all of the nasty pets and put them in the patio. kids would be screaming all day long.
also Schweppes bitter lemon is sold down in Florida at the farmers market in fort lauderdale. dig that.
took my trip to Germany two years ago and it was still a big hit. also London sells it under a different name.

sammy loves those clackers when it's time for the kiddies to be quiet. it hurts their ears. the dogs also howl.

Was the Marathon Bar the one that was a huge piece of chocolate covered caramel, in the shape of a long braid?

OK, someone name this for me, coz I can't think of what it was called:
A bowling game with ten wooden pins and a wooden ball attached to a chain, swung from an attached pole. Pole was about 18 in. hich, ball about 2 in. in diameter. Used to have many a fantasy tournament on that thing.
