Don’t you dare call me old. Im in massive amounts of denial.
Shit, I remember these in school. And I'm 22, pretty sure early 20s isn't ood enough to count for an "are you this old" meme.
May of 2001 baby
I hate that people are calling me old. I just graduated college, leave me alone lmao
From someone who also remembers this, it doesn't get better in your thirties.
If it's anything, you and a college buddy of mine were both teething during 9/11, and I watched that live as a kid, and adults with their own apartments not remembering that is distressing to me. He'll act like a perfectly normal adult and then it will come out he always thought pokemon was lame, and it's because it had already worn out all of its welcome by the time he hit elementary school.
You're not old. I'm normal and you're a baby. Tiny infant. Do you want to go in the playplace?
Yea my kids have these games and they are around 10. And they aren’t my old versions of them, they’re new. This toy is definitely not a good use of this meme.
Yeah, I'm old enough to think that these aren't that old.
I’m trying to come to terms with it myself
It feels like people in their early twenties aren’t old. 🥴
Bruh I'm 18 and I used these as a kid lol
I'm 35 and had these as a kid. Not sure when they were actually invented
I literally don't get why these exist
You hold one, someone else holds another, you throw the ball at the other person's, it bounces off because tennis balls don't fucking stick to velcro at high velocities god damnit
I'm sorry but I'm old and these appeared in my middle age and are still a thing on beaches
I used those and I’m not old at all these things are always stupid
You didn't realise you got old. Young people now look at you and see an old person, sorry mate.
If your age doesn't start with a 0 or 1 then you're old to so many people, a 5 year old doesn't discern much between a 20 or a 40 year old.
Oh my god I loved these growing up. I loved them because you could throw and catch a ball without having to worry about your subpar fine motor skills causing you to drop the ball and interrupt play.
Exactly! Your hand just had to be in the general area to “catch” it. I think I remember these and the butt scooters (colorful little squares with 4 wheels on the bottom and handles on the side) the most from PE
You mean the scooters that you ran over you fingers all the time and surprised your fingers aren't little pancakes today?
Your school got handles on your butt scooters!? Ours was just plywood on four wheels and you were lucky if you didn't get one of the ones with fixed position wheels.
My kids are this old 😭
They should feel lucky you gave them velcro catch instead of the metal lawn darts we were trusted with.
Lawn darts were fucking awesome
They really were
Man, I can go to my Target right now and buy one of these. Aisle E25.
Yup I had a pair of those, no idea what they're called though
I remember these, I never got to use one mainly because I never had anyone to use it with.
Mine got used as a cat brush once and never worked right after that. Cat was happy though
Yes.
I just got one of these for my kids.
I'm old enough to remember scraping the shit out of my knuckles on these when rummaging through the toy bin
You're not old just cause u remember a thing from school. They still use these in gym classes all over, and you can still buy these in stores for 5 bucks.
I first saw these advertised when I was at primary school in the late 80s early 90s I think- the branded ones were called “Scatch” i believe.
