Yeah? Who doesn't love 'em some Wacky Wall Walkers?
One year for vacation we rented a condo that had an open area that was two stories tall. I dunno where the kids picked up wall walkers, but they had a lot of fun with them on that large wall.
They were hilarious. I have a clear recollection of throwing them at the wall, I remember the distinct spot on the wall I used to use.
Until they picked up too much dust and dirt...even after rinsing they were never the same.
But still, there is something oddly cheerful and comforting about Wacky Wall Walkers.

you had to wash them with soap and water, then they were as good as new again
I don't know... I think there have been a lot of advances in Wacky Wall Walker technology. The early Wall Walkers, even before my time, were nothing more than balls of tape. Sorta sticky, but hardly wacky. When I was a kid (and remember, I'm a lot older than you) the Wall Walker technology had advanced quite a bit, but I don't think the "ever-goo" was introduced on the scene until the mid 90's.
I don't know what it is, but I'm glad my girls never heard about ever-goo.
EverGoo is a good band name, yo
(Did I mention this before? Search says no.)
When I was in elementary school, I had to write an essay from the point of view of a future archaeologist describing a modern item. I chose a Wacky Wall Walker. Even at that tender age, I knew that, if an archaeologist has no idea what something is for, it must be a
religious artifact [SIZE=1][

Heyyyyyy, you might be on to something. Note the resemblance between Wacky Wall Walker and FSM. Coincidence? I think not.
Guess I missed this ! For better or worst
Do they walk or just sit there?
they "walk" down walls. Or slowly, stickily, roll down.
I'm pretty sure Al gore invented the Wacky Wall Walker.
They are excellent for confusing the cat.

A commercial from the 80s. I didn't get my Wall Walkers from corn pops, as I hate corn pops, but about 20 seconds in you can see Wall Walkers in action! I love the interwebz.

If they didn't, they'd be called Whacky Stick To The Wall Without Movings :p:
One never knows these days. ;)

No doubt. But two and three do.
That's why nine is so scared.
