Boomers - Just Playin' 'Round
Here are the Toy Industry Association's top selling toys each year for the last 100 years. (expertly edited down to Boomer-relevant years. )
My personal favorite is the Etch-A-Sketch. I first encountered it on the family vacation. 12 hours later and I still couldn't draw a circle.
Got any personal memories about anything on the list? Drop off your comments below.
