The kit came with a mini-cauldron, several bags that came marked with skull and crossbones, and a mold. A kid would mix up the powder with water in the cauldron and put it into the mold. It would then harden, allowing the kids to paint it. Spanish Barbie is probably exactly what you think it is. A normal Barbie doll dressed up as a matador, complete with red cape. Mattel was bombarded with letters demanding the doll be changed or removed, as this was viewed as a stereotypical portrayal of Spanish people.

A Tamagotchi is a virtual pet on a keychain that first came out in 1996. It was created by a Japanese toy company named Bandai and eventually moved overseas to Europe and the United States. New models of these toys are on the market today, but they’re made from soft materials that don’t stand up in the water! Wham-O’s Slip N’ Slides Yeah, that can’t end badly Yo-Yo Water Balls are exactly what you think. Yo-Yos that are full of water. That’s really all there is to it. It was made of the same elastic plastic you’d find in a stress ball so you could fill it with water and play with it in a pool. Honestly, it doesn’t sound all that fun, but kids are easily amused, so it was probably fine.Teen Talk Barbie became infamous for its talking functionality, with one line being “math class is tough.” The Easy-Bake Oven was invented in 1963, but it became all the rage in the 90s when it was rereleased by Hasbro.
