The first slinkies were sold at Gimbels Department store in Philadelphia in
1945, and they have been a staple of toy departments every since. Watching a
slinky "walking" down the stairs is a rite of passage for most American children.
(Untangling slinkies is a rite of passage for most American parents!)
Bonus: they make a wonderful sound when shifted from hand to hand.
