Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Who didn't like their Slinky? I bought an "original" one for my kids, but it was too short to go down the stairs. So then I bought this super retro original. Same deal, older box. I found out that Slinky was sold to Proof, they shortened it by about 20% to save cash, but it doesn't work anymore. Why not just raise the price 20% and sell ones that work? Update: Count Your Coils. The original 1945-1990? Slinky used 80 feet of steel wire, had 98 coils, and was 2.50 inches tall. The new ones (Poof) are closer to 63 feet of steel and 80 coils. Count your coils.
