Toy Trivia Challenge

Post by MarkBarrett »

This was passed along to me from a Christmas party. There is some relevance to previous FJ clues.

1. Chatty Cathy
2. Slot Cars
3. Barbie
4. Monopoly
5. Risk
6. Hula Hoop
7. Mr. Potato Head
8. Slinky
9. View Master
10. Radio Flyer Wagon
11. Crayola Crayons
12. Frisbee
13. GI Joe
14. Scrabble
15. Tonka Trucks
16. Tammy Doll
17. Lionel Train
18. Erector Set

Many claimed to be the inventors of this, but the Wham-O Company patented the name in 1957.

Although around for a long time the first commercial ones were introduced by Lionel.

Marketing a toy used for hundreds of years, Wham-O sold millions of these the first year of production.

Originally invented by an unemployed architect and named the Criss Cross Game.

Invented by a French movie director and originally released as La Conquete du Monde.

This product was originally intended as an eye-catcher for a toy store window display.

When introduced, this doll was available in a blue dress or a red swimsuit plus accessories.

Using materials from their gardening tool business, three partners invented these products as a side line.

The US military purchased 100,000 of these between 1942 and 1945 for training purposes.

Named after the economic concept of a single power dominating the market.

During the Vietnam war, these were sold as mobile radio antenna.

The original prototype names were Rocky, Skip, and Ace.

Originally planned to be a prize in a breakfast cereal box.

The first one of this product was named No. 4 Liberty Coaster.

Invented by a Gold Medal winning Pole Vault Olympian.

Debuted in 1962 as "The doll you love to dress."

This doll's first outfit was a white zebra striped swimsuit.

This product made its debut in 1903 and sold for a nickel.
