You can a make a dipole antenna out of a hair of slinkies and some ladder line.
Most important use for a slinky™ is to confuse first year physics students

I had a roomie that sang that at the top of his lungs while pooping, gosh I don’t miss that guy.
Got a classic slinky for my eldest for Christmas because I thought she was the right age to at least get a few months of play in. I knew I’d ruined my slinkies so quickly, but a classic metal one would be different.
It was destroyed in 25 minutes.
We had part of a slinky, but I straightened it.
