2 balls of hard acrylic plastic at the ends of a cord. The idea was to hold the cord in the middle and swing the balls so they would clack together. Trouble was, they sometimes shattered into shrapnel and caused numerous injuries including blindness. The manufacturer had to pull them off the marked, but later unloaded the inventory of plastic balls as decorative fence post tops.

Not just dangerous but also annoying.

The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

  They were very popular when I was in Jr.High. The school banned them when one ball flew off one and went through a teachers 1969 Pontiac Bonneville's windshield.
