summer toys of the 80s: the water hose attachment, ...(?)? red cone I tried to remember the name of a toy I had when I was a child. He screwed on the end of water hose, and when you turned it on, the water pipe crossing and the dove and come to think of it, could be a serious danger.
Anyway. It was a cone-shaped red, his eyes were painted on it. It was not Willie water or one of these incarnations, he was a toy red. Very simple. Ten points to the person who brings me the name of my childhood, dangerous toys!
In fact, the toy
you think
has left many
much earlier than the 80s ...
Water Wiggle "

Wham-O
circa-1962 - '78
The toy was very simple and consisted
nothing more than a plastic dome as
attachment screwed onto any standard
garden hose -
how much the sport has been completely worked
depends on water pressure

Wham-O stated that the recall is occasioned by the death of four-
child-year in March 1978. The youngster was playing with some
other children in his garden with a water dismantling Wiggle, ""
one whose bell-shaped head has been removed or had come
off. The exposed aluminum nozzle became stuck in the mouth and
drowned. Wham-O said he had no knowledge of how and why
The toy was dismantled or how the nozzle became stuck in the
child's mouth.

The attachment was determined
by the company and earlier
Versions removed from the shelves -
the toy has resurfaced and gave birth
other water toys Wham-O
lasted a few more years before
it was more "pc"
() Politically Correct
According to many
child who
a wiggle water
Wham-O has been definitively
the correct terminology for it
