Why people remember it
- That spinning flower sprinkler is basically the unofficial mascot of summer backyard play.
- Running through the spray pattern (and trying to dodge the strongest jet) was a whole game on its own.
- It turned a boring lawn-watering chore into the day's main event for every kid on the block.
