popular kid toy for birthday presents in
the 1930s which was literally about 100
years ago that means that any kid that
was opening this or old enough to open
in the 1930s sad enough is probably dead
now okay happy birthday I don't know if
they said happy birthday in 1930 I
wonder if they sing the Happy Birthday
song in 1930 I start and I tried my best
to find the most original and authentic
pieces of these toys or presents that I
cook this is what most kids in the 1930s
ask
for um a puppet they're marionette
puppet you know what these are do you
know how to use them no so these are are
called marionette puppets which means
that they are puppets and they have
these little strings attached to I'm not

very first slime of its kind before
slime was a thing you had Silly Putty

silly putty made 1950s this is whenever
uh the baby boom was
happening that's weird I would have
never thought of Mr Potato and what's
funny is Mr Potato had actually people
thought that Mr Potato Head was like
part of Toy Story But Mr Potato Head was
around way before Toy Story so he's like
the very first character up
to got his feet and I think his arm just
kind of goes in the middle there's like
three spots for it actually
his hat that is Mr Potato
Head I imagine how talk next this is a
good one so this is like her kind of
following Silly Putty right kids love
the the sticky the stretchy so 1950s

it was a most popular P to it actually
took it a few decades I think it came
out in the 30s or 40s but it took a few
decades to like catch on but nowadays
Legos is still around okay so this is
not a toy nor a birthday present but it
was something that was very popular in
the' 60s I could not believe I got my
hands on this and I'm so excited to open
so this is actually an OG time capsule
do you know what a time capsule is nope
so people in the 60s were very big about
getting metal tins putting things from
the 60s inside of it burying them
underground and then leaving almost like
like a treasure hunt for people to come
and find years later so somebody buried
this in the 1960s with something from
the' 60s that I got my hands on and
we're going to open it at the end of

pulling is he going to break is he going
to smack me in the
face that's pretty good for a toy in the
70s oh it's pretty good it gets all
stretched out but what I wanted to do is
I wanted to compare it to the modern day
unbreakable stretch tour this is not a
course from the 70s this is a modern day
unbreakable stretch tour and we're going
to see which one is actually
unbreakable it's hard stop oh look

where we have three of the most popular
kid toys again I wrote what they were on
one side of them so I flipped them over
so I want do this whoops go ahead so the
1980s this was actually the decade
before I was born it says Rubik so it's
probably a Rubik Cube I'm guessing
coming in third place the third most
popular kid toy in the 1980s was a y
Rubik's Cube the OG Rubik's Cube and
nothing else inside of there comment
down below if you know how to Rubik's
Cube cuz we don't oh a a a it's probably

Willy and essentially there's a bunch of
tiny little magnetic beeds that you
could draw on a space and it would stick
