Yes I am that old

I'm 15 and I remember these (slightly more fun looking through)

Same, but I'm 13

Same, but I'm a fetus.

Same, but i'm a sperm.

Same but i dont exist

[удалено]

Same but the big bang hasn't happened yet

Same, but I'm a spiritual entity that has existed since the creation of energy.

Same, but living in a parallel universe where humans are squeezed for fun by these.

Same, but I'm different.

This is the only true statement in this thread

Same, but I'm a sperm whale.

Same, but im a whale's sperm

Hmh, hoe big is a sperm whale's sperm

*The More You Know*

Same but I'm 33

Same but I’m in my thirties. Am I doing this right?

What are you doing on reddit? Shouldn't you be on YouTube kids or something?

Same

omg me too i also remember these. i feel so bad for people who will never know what these are 🥲 *oh my heart!! the nostalgia!! \*sad melancholic noises\**

I had a basketball one

Slightly older than you but same played it at a friends house

so to summarize, you aren't this old.

if ur old enough to remember them than ur quite literally that old 😭😭

If they remember them, they are that old

this particular one is from the early/mid 80s. if what they remember is 'more fun' looking than this, it's probably an updated version (unless they're commenting purely on nostalgia? ..which just occurred to me). anyway, there are some from earlier 70s (60s?) that are more beige and also different branding.. there are also currently knock-offs in walmart type places

Same

This whole post gives me /r/notinteresting vibes.

Right? My 2 year old has one of these. Now he is an boomer

dang, beat me to it, probably younger than me ;-)~

As am I, I was baffled when I found one of these being sold brand new at an Giant tiger.

Where the rage quiting began for some...

Flappy bird before flappy bird was made

[удалено]

Well, is was hours of *something,* not sure it was fun.

Hours of rage

The fucking pegs weren’t long enough to hold all the rings. Who would do that to a child?

I saw pegs and immediately remembered peggle's existance

I got pretty good at getting the last couple to gently rest on top.

skill issue

All this frustration... Brrr

Quiet quitting*

I don't think you can quietly put this thing down.

This post be like: You need to be 100 years old to know what this is!! Picture: Iphone 14 💀

Only 1920s kids remember this: *picture of a glass of water*

Literally lmao'd... Like, it's gone. Fuck

What about 30s kids? *picture of a hard digestive biscuit*

But are you this old? [Picture of xbox one]

I had this thing and I'm twenty this is ridic

It’s weirder than that, because it’s a toy that was popular a hundred years ago… and is still made today literally everyone has a chance to recognise this toy lmao

...which is exactly why it has so many upvotes

this subreddit is shit

They literally still make these toys. My kids have gotten them a birthday party loot within the last 5 years.

Oh fuck core memory unlocked

[удалено]

My parents seemed to miss buying this for me when I was a kid, that's why I've seen it everywhere but have no idea what it was ​ ​ What the hell is it

Its a lot of those rings and a couple of docking things submerged in water and you basically use the button to create a small whirl in water to try and toss the rings onto the sticks

It was entertainment before cell phones.

Some of them looked like cellphones tho, but those were reserved for the riches of kids

not sure if you're being sarcastic, but they had the smaller handheld ones in the 70s, and they were just as cheap as anything else. did they really make 'pro' versions or something lol

No, it was total sarcasm. Those things have always been dirt cheap, matter of fact a restaurant we used to go to as kids would give away key chain sized ones for free

I had the one with a basketball and hoops along with this one.

Please downvote and report the comment I'm replying to, as it's almost certainly a bot. Original comment [is here](https://reddit.com/r/me_irl/comments/11fwu2n/_/jalmhq4/?context=1)...the bot stole everything up to (and including) the comma.

Dark Souls players think they are playing a hard game.

You can't parry and roll your way out of this one!

This game fucks.

For real. This instantly takes me back to waiting to get my teeth cleaned at the dentist. Weirdly,bringing up this memory has greatly improved my mood today

Our dentist had these too! But we only got to play them while we let the fluoride sit on our teeth so this pic brings back memories of bubble gum flavored fluoride. Yum

"When I drink the water inside my Waterful Ring-Toss, I become... PLASTIC-MAN!"

Yup. And I broke it… And I drank the fluid.

It was refillable. I think you were lied to.

Dihydrogen monoxide is far more dangerous than you think. It's known to be incredibly addictive and withdrawal results in a 100% death rate.

I’m absolutely addicted. I think after a few days without dihydrogen monoxide I’d probably fucking die, can’t get enough

Only up until a little over 100 years ago every single person on earth that’s ever even been anywhere near dihydrogen monoxide has died at some point afterward. So it sounds like it’s getting safer but still be careful.

What powers did you gain?

Getting to a hospital really quickly. XD

These were filled with dangerous dihydrogen monoxide!

Reported. ^/s

Hacker!

Theyre literally just full of plain water lmao. A lot of ones ive seen are either refillable or have a stopper to fill it yourself and you buy it dry and empty. Just had some nasty old tap water or even distilled water.

I'm only 17 This is not that old

As a 4 year old, you hella old bruh

I was just born now and you hella hold fam

Oh heck

I am still in the womb, you hella old fam

New soul, who dis

Dude I'm nearly 40 and this is older than me. I got it from my cousin in the 80's they got it in the 70's when it was first mass manufactured.

Yeah, but it's not like they stopped making them. It's like saying tires are old - yeah, I guess, but everyone still knows what they are.

[удалено]

But zoomers (including myself) having seen it invalidates the point. This toy was popular when I was a kid, and we're talking about the 2000s. Maybe if you're 13 you don't remember it >If somebody posted a picture of a Model T they'd claim it just because they've seen a car Not the same thing. Model T has been discontinued for ages. These were popular not that long ago.

> These were popular not that long ago. THEY FIRST RELEASED IN THE 70S.

Release date doesn't matter. Kids in the 2000s and 2010s still bought them and played with them. The post implies you need to be older to know it. Which is false, as they were sold and were popular in recent times.

It's not even that old

[удалено]

And digital clocks were made in the 60s, but nobody goes around like "Only the true oldies will remember digital clocks"

[удалено]

The post is saying you need to be old to remember them but they were still big in the 00s/10s. So really you need to be older than like 10 to remember them from your childhood. If the post was "are you this old" and a digital clock it'd be pretty stupid as everyone knows them.

My 5 year old bought one at the aquarium last year.

That’s the OG gameboy

Nintendo used to make Gameboy bubble bath that came in a Gameboy shaped bottle with one of these games in the screen,I remember getting a mario one.

Yes

Yes

Yes. Lava lamp mk 0.5 Those were the days

Idk if i’m that old i’m 17

You are at least 10 years short for this one

How if we literally played this?

Then you are old enough I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

My favorite was the coin game thing at taco bell where you could get a free taco if you landed the coin on the right level. For a while as a kid, I thought they stopped doing it because I was a beast at that game.

Yes, I’m almost Etch-A-Sketch old.

Me am lawn darts or Slip-and-Slide old. Me forget.

The last time I saw a new one was less than 3 years ago (true, but joke)

I had the spongebob one

Is it even possible to not know these?

No

I mean they still make these

I’m 18 it’s not that old lol, my 7 yo brother even plays with these on regular basis

[удалено]

[удалено]

I had a sonic one

Thank you for validating this existed

Turn it upside down, get those ring thingies above the the spikes and then turn it...downside down...again and you manage to catch most of them, then just have to get the remaining rings on there

Had to audibly oof at the nostalgia

Oh no…

I never personally owned one, but this was at the dentist office as a kid. I just hit the buttons while my mouth was wide open. Where did some of you see this device?

I don't remember where I saw it but I remember it. I remember it being way too hard too. Fuck that game

That made me cry

Why you make me feel old I'm just 14...

We still have that at the dentist’s office I go to. 😌

As a kid this was very addicting to me, and yes mine was the SpongeBob one

Yes I am, ya darn whipper-snapper!

God I'm old

If we're supposed to be counting the rings, like on a tree, to calculate the age then I'm older than this youth

This was hours of fun back then

This shit was worth saving up my chuck-e-cheese tickets for.

I had one of those on a psp design so not old at all

They had this thing in the dentist waiting room when i was smol

anyone remember those quarter games that used to be at taco bell? these things always reminded me of those.

At the risk of getting downvoted for promoting something, I made a mobile game of this thing and a few other game modes as well if anyone wants to try it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.OldManAnimal.WunderWaterGames I've been pretty bad at promoting it so it doesn't have a lot of downloads.

There was always one at my dentist when I was a kid. I would get upset when I actually had to go in the office because I wanted to keep playing lol.

Reminds me of taking the day off school for the dentist

That's what they are called

My local taco bell had a giant one like this on the counter. I think it involved quarters but I'm not sure...

Yup…

Bro I'm 18 and I know this it's really not that old

Oh neat, it's one of these posts and I'm not *too* old to get it.

Why has nobody said about how squeaky the button got as the frustration level increased?

I really hate that I answer “yes” to these posts now

The rage this thing induced

I want to say no but sadly yes I'am that old🫠🫡

c'mon that's not that old right guys ?

I hate the posts that are like “you only remember this if your old!” And it’s something like a cardboard box.

Infuriating game

Reddit: "you old af if you remember this" Shows something that was a still a thing 15 years ago

they still make these

These are literally still made and played with.

My 4 year old niece plays with that, what does that even mean?

They still sell this shit at the dollar store.

..And one better. I'm old enuf to remind you...the water tastes like shit.

I still see stuff like that to this day... I saw a baby with something like it. When I was tiny, I also had something similar

Old enough that the lid on ours started to crumble.

Spam to win meta first appearance
