Plastic Penguin Race

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone remember that old toy where the penguins went up the escalator, and down the slide, and everything worked in unison, seemingly forever (or at least the batteries dies)? I ask because I always wanted one as a child (my sitter and many playdates [never friends] had one) and just recently I purchased one from a novelty store. I love it. They go up the slide, and back down again, and so on, without suffering the effects of entropy. Though I suppose that's where the battery comes in.

Anyway, tonight, my penguins stopped mid-slide. Had to tap them with my finger. Seems there is chaos in the system after all. It bothers me.

I suppose that's not the point. Who else remembers/ has taken comfort in this toy?

I played that before, it was a lot of fun.
