| Bungee Balls
are toys that are produced as a means of enhancing
a person's hand/eye coordination. However, their
purpose is not limited to that, and they can be
used as a source of recreation or entertainment
during a boring situation.
Traditionally, a bungee ball is made of plastic, and at one
end a person slips slip his/her finger into a
notch and at the other end is a large ball containing
synthetic liquid. Bungee Balls were a fad in March
of 2003, and the most Bungee Balls were sold during
this time period. After March 2003, they started
vanishing from stores, partly because of controversy
over what was contained inside them. They were
also discontinued in many stores because usually
after about 4-7 hours of use, the bungee ball's
bungee cord would snap, making the toy useless,
and the ball itself would break, releasing synthetically-made
liquid. By October 2003, nearly all of the bungee
balls had vanished from retail stores, and are
now are mainly available by online shopping.
