Flashback Friday: Pogo Balls

Pogo balls are what you call 'em...

Wow. In hindsight, what a craptacular jingle that was. Didn't stop me from bouncing endlessly on that piece of crap. I remember taking that thing to school. Hell, I lived (well, live, since this is my childhood home, but at the same time they tore down the old school after building a new one behind it) so close to the school that I probably Pogo Ball'ed to school on occasion.

Also, apparantely nobody has the original commercials YouTubed so you'll have to make do with this bunch of jokers going all x-treme (though I will admit to having done the thing as a kid where you would spin the pogo ball then jump on it).

  2. OMG. Pogo Ball. I have not thought of those in forever! I never had one but I remember most of the kids in my class did. I was pretty content with my jumprope though. Being a terribly uncoordinated child (oh who am I kidding? I didn't outgrow that.) I probably would have fallen off & broken something.

Feel free to comment. So that I may respond and possibly mock and ridicule you. Just kidding. Maybe. We'll see what you say first, how about that.
