It was rumored that's where Mr Twister got the idea for a curly tail worm. Darn! Coulda made a fortune instead of playing cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians. ? 1 Quote

It was essentially a steel hot plate with various molds into which you poured (I assume) plastisol and made various “creepy crawlies” lol. Thinking about it now, I bet some of those would have caught bass. Man, back then toys that could burn you were plentiful lol. I had the same set. Can’t count how many times I burned myself on those hot molds. I also had a chemistry set that I was only allowed to play with in the back corner of the basement in case I came up with some caustic concoction ? 1 Quote

Always wondered how sodium ferrocyanide sounded like something good for a kid to have lol. 1 Quote
