Fun topic. I have been trying to figure out the name of something I had when I was little. It was a blue plastic sled that was rolled up and it had a yellow braided rope handle. I remember the Christmas I got one, I think every one of my friends got one too. Any one remember what it was called?

@cookinfreak  OMG memories! 

Mine didn't roll but I had the plastic red toboggan with the yellow rope and handles.  We always sat according to age like kids do and my baby sister got bounced from the tail every time until we figured out that smaller kids should go in front with the older kids weighting it down in the back.  Longer ride that way!

@cookinfreak I called it a roll up sled.  Hard to keep your butt on it!  It was hilarious to watch kids get down the hill without swishing all around.....flying off the sled when going over a bump!

I bought this several years back for my brother on his 50th birthday.  I also gave him a box of Depends.  Some toys from his past and item he may or may not need in the future.  Loved playing with yo-yo and slinky after all these decades.  Great memories @handygal2

My son was born in 1995 and my coworker gifted him Tickle me Elmo for Christmas ‘96. We still have it. Him and the Original Toy Story Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear.

I wanted a "Little Miss Echo" doll when I was little.....never got it because I am sure it cost alot of money back then.

You talked to her while you pressed a button and she talked back in your voice......Probably didn't work very well because I don't remember seeing them after that one year

Easy Bake Ovens.  Heaven knows what those ingredients were.   LOL

And Cabbage Patch dolls are making a comeback.

I had many of them when I was a child.  Then I saw many more that my kids had!

I'm surprised to not see American Girl dolls on the popular list.  My daughter and her friends all had at least one of the dolls, and all of the books.
