Why people remember it
- It was the ultimate car-ride and waiting-room boredom killer before anyone had a phone to hand a kid.
- The satisfying click of the button launching the rings made it strangely addictive to fidget with.
- Almost every kid who had one remembers trying (and failing) to land all the rings at once.
Questions people ask
- How does the water toy work?
- Pressing the button forces an air bubble that launches the small rings or balls upward, and you try to catch them on the pegs before they fall.
- Is it still sold today?
- Similar water-ring and water-game toys are still widely sold, generally following the same basic design as the originals.
