Skip it! Best odd childhood toy ever.

I had one of those when I was about ten. I loved it.

Why did they have Skip It and not Shove It, Leave It, Lose It or Screw It?

I didn't have a Skip It, but my friend Christina did (she had EVERYTHING, she was so spoiled), and we had a ball with it.

The Skip It probably didn't generate the chiropractor bills that its predecessor the Swing Wing did.

I had the Italian version of that back in the '70's: a black rope with a hollow plastic lemon on the end.

We never had a Skip It, but I loved the shit out of my Pogo Ball (well, until it popped).

On the one hand: WTF???
On the other hand: that commercial would go great mashed up with some Exodus or something. \m/

msali, that's what I had. Loved it. For sure a lemon, and that was in US.

Nor the emergency room visits that Lawn Darts did.
