Do any of y'all remember this?

My H does not. Clearly he missed out on so much toxic fun!

Also, while we're at it, let's bake some plastic! (WTF?)

Shrinky dinks I remember but I don't remember that 1st one.

It was this goop that you put on the end of a straw and then made pretty, toxic, swirly balloons.

I remember seeing commercials for that top one not too long ago. New and improved maybe? I've never understood the awesomeness of baking plastic.

I Heart The 80s:
Yes to both! Toxic fun for all!

Yay! I was really hoping you'd say that. Big Smile

Spooko:
YES! And I really wanted it. I did find some as an adult and tried it out. I'm sure I woulda loved the shiiit out of that as a kid.
I also had shrinky dinks.

If they've re-made (and re-safed) the stuff, I'm totally down.

Shrinky Dinks were the (probably BPA-filled) bomb!

I used to love the smell of that Shiit. Good times.

I use to love both of them

The kids made some Scooby Doo shrinky dinks not too long ago and they still make the bubble stuff too. It still smells toxic, but it's still fun.

I freaking loved plastic bubbles.

snowybride08 · January 2013

I loved that stuff! I don't remember it being different colors, but I sure loved blowing the bubbles. Awesome!

suv75 · January 2013

Yes, to both! Loved them!

Yup to both. Although I remember when *I* was a kid, you would ask the butcher for extra lids from the liver containers & use those for shrinky dinks.

I could never get the bubble stuff to work. My rock hard ball of goo would just blow off my stick.

I never had Shrinkey Dinks but in GS we used to bake styrofoam cups and bowls to make craft projects.

Those things were awesome.

My mom bought me some shrinky dinks for my birthday last year. She was out and saw them and remembered how much I loved them when I was little.

quidditchcapn1120 · January 2013

I've never heard of either of them. Maybe it's a regional thing?

LadySnowblood · January 2013

I never had Shrinky Dinks, but I used to love those plastic bubbles!

GrayGhost13 · January 2013

I was never allowed to have the bubble plastic. (Can't remember why, but my mom was funny about some things.)

Shrinky dinks are the bomb though!

insertclevername · January 2013

I remember both.

I remember that the plastic bubble smelled like airplane glue. I am sure that stuff was definitely toxic. I could never get big bubbles either. Probably too high from the fumes.

I loved shrinky dinks and spent many hours in my kitchen making them.
