Even as a kid i knew i wasnt coordinated enough to even think about begging my parents for one, so i never got into the hype. Watched the commercials enough to get the jingle stuck in my head though <.<
My sister wanted one bad. Parent said jump ropes were cheaper and multiplayer. Fortunately, the one spoiled kid in her class got one, brought it to school. One day of skinned knees and hurting shins later, the craze had worn off.
Hehe now I’m picturing him making her play with the thing as a punishment in the future. A full 30 minutes of agony on the ankles, haha!
@Ghost Uhhhh…I think you are referring to the Skip Stik.
Was this inspired by the Nostalgia Critic by any chance?

Oh, great. Now I’m gonna have that jingle stuck in my head all day. XD
It’s so much fun to break your ankles! 😁
Jenny’s response to her dad would have earned her a smack in the face.
Not quite, Michelle, it’s a money-draining device.
Yeah, Skip-It’s were difficult to get the hang of.
Huh, I never noticed or I guess cared much about Mr. Hsien’s first name before.
Anyways, ahh, the Skip-It strip. A classic. Worst part is it didn’t even come in a neat box, so Jenny doesn’t even have a consolation toy.
At the end, the “stupid thing” became Yorgi’s new toy XD
Don’t blame Jenny, it’s clearly her shoes!
