When I was in elementary school there was a huge resurgence in popularity, leading to waiting lists for popular Duncan models that stretched into a month or more. I saved up every penny I had and eventually got a Turbo Bumblebee, which was one of my most prized possessions for way longer than I'd like to admit.
I found it in a box last time I was visiting my parents. I ended up changing the "brake pads" and oiling the bearings and played with it for hours. Can confirm, as an adult, Yo Yos are still a really pure, inexplicable kind of fun.
- mitchell_h 12y agoI keep a few yo-yos in my office on the shelf. Keep them next to a cricket ball, and a hacky-sack. I find they're great fun when on long conference calls and awesome conversation starters. Generally the younger group, 90s kids, stare at that hackysack like it's a long lost treasure. The folks in the upper 30s to 40s go for the yoyo. I'm early 30s but tend to play with the yoyo a lot.
