Diameter too small to be useful
I purchased this slinky for my grandaughter, hoping it would be a close replica of the slinkies that I experienced in the 1960's. Those slinkies were about 5 inches in diameter which gave them the capability to "walk" down stairs and other larger objects. This slinky has a much smaller diameter which limits how much that can be done with it. Advertising it as the "original" slinky is misleading in my opinion.
