This is the original Slinky TV commercial. Accept no substitutes

My favorite childhood Slinky activity was the hand-to-hand thing. Very soothing both physically and aurally. In later years I liked to hold the Slinky in the air until it reached maximum stretch. I’d put the microphone of our tape recorder into the bottom end, then tap and wiggle the Slinky. It made cool science-fiction sounds.
