Most Addictive 1950's Toy

Hey, you remember this toy?  My grandpa had one, couldn't put the damn thing down as a kid.

    I KNEW IT!

    A Wheel-o! My dad had one, played with it while sitting at his desk on the phone. He got us one; we played it till it fell apart.

    Had one. Put it down after playing through all the levels in under five minutes even at expert difficulty.

    That and four channels of black and white TV was all the entertainment there was to be had back then...

    My Lionel train set was way cooler than the Wheelo thingy

  7. I had one. For no apparent reason it was the coolest toy ever and I spun it for hours!

    I have one on my tv stand. A newer model from Easter with a bunny instead of a wheel. Very addictive...
