3) Rollerblade Barbie... so much burning!/ link (http://web.mit.edu/hershey/www/humor/dave/dave3.html)
 
4) Moon Shoes... so bone-breaky/ link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_shoes)
 
5) Metal Playground Slides... hot hot hot!/ rusty and sharp!/ gave me lock jaw!/ link (https://nerdist.com/article/40-foot-tall-metal-giant-slide-detroit-hurts-people-video/)
 
 
-- if none of the above info appeals to you, perhaps you'd be interested in this suggestion brought to you by Johnson's Steak Knives and the Canadian Steak Knife Colition (*may contain affiliate links*)... 
If you're still not sure of what kind of gifts the kids like these days, just go with a classic like steak knives... or for the younger kids, steak spoons. Also, you could go with gift cards.
 
-- Other toy donation ideas from past years include Frisbees (donations can be accepted from across the parking lot... just throw)... Drones (donations can be flown right into the bus and landed on the toy pile)... Avocados (this recommendation has been discontinued)... YoYos or YoYoYos (more modern)... 
 
-- Want to give a classic toy? Maybe something from the Toy Hall of Fame!!
This year, these toys got voted in to the THF: the Top... Masters of the Universe/ He Man toys... and Lite-Brite.
This means that several finalists were NOT voted in this year... sorry, Bingo, Nerf, the piΓ±ata, and Phase 10 - it just wasn't in the cards. HIYOOOOO!!! (Phase Ten is a card game you guys.) If you want me to retire that joke, quit denying Phase Ten a spot in your weird museum." (https://apnews.com/article/2022-toy-hall-of-fame-winners-cd340d994366de66f756e52db88cc6eb
