ALEX AND HER TOYS

The sensation from YouTube goes down memory lane and introduces us to Fluffy. Hi Fluffy! Alex also discovers she has a doll with no name and request help for naming her doll. Only one suggestion so far at YouTube, so if you have a name for Alex’s doll, then please be sure to leave a reply.

Alex goes on to discuss Barbie and where the future of Barbie’s might be. Now I grew up in total different era from Alex. When I think of the toys I use to have, it’s the video games that stick out the most for me. My first memories of Pong was the greatest! Do you remember the game Pong? It was the first time people could sit and watch their televisions and actually interact with the tv. It was a brand new way to use our television sets. Now you have the Playstation 3 and Xbox that a lot of kids and adults play today. It all started from that little black and white game called Pong. It even had a sound effect “beep” “beep” , it wasn’t nothing fancy at the time, but it’s lead to a billion dollar market in the video game industry today.

Now as much as I loved Pong, the guys from Atari came out with video games for the television. This is where Pac Man made it’s debut to people all over the world. There was nothing better than playing Pac Man. It even had a catchy song that went with the video game that was called “PacMan Fever”. I still know some of the lyrics to that song, I’m sorry to admit. Maybe I could find that song and have Alex sing it? Now that would be funny! Just kidding Alex!!! I wouldn’t do that to ya!

Another fun toy of mine when I was younger was the Hot Wheel cars. I would take these to school and my friends and me would get these Hot Wheel Cars and put them at the top of a slide on the playground. We would let them go and see whose car would be the fastest. At the end of the slide was sand that would often get in the wheels and cause the car to slow down after time. So if you was lucky enough to have the fastest car on the playground, it wouldn’t last long as eventually sand would get to it, and would make someone else the champ. I had a gold car that had the number 8 on it, that I still have today. Everytime I see that Hot Wheels car, it makes me think of the days on the playground where it was the fastest one for a short time!

It’s great that Alex took timeout to make a video of her remembering her toys like this. The internet or YouTube wasn’t around for my benefits, and Alex will be able to look back on this video years from now and have all her favorite toys still fresh in her mind. Thanks for the memories Alex!
