I think there is a commercial based on that theme already. Its for Arrid or some thing like that where on football player charges and then others etc. Will have to turn my TV on more often..

One of my favorite toys from the 1960's:

From the 1967 Sears catalog Lost In space Switch N Go .
I still remember it with more than a little nostalgia.




The last time I payed attention to the selling price of one it was around fifteen hundred dollars in 1996!

People pay a lot to recapture their youth.
