Remembering a toy from late 60s or early 70s...

[Sandy]

Ok...my husband keeps asking me to ask you guys if anyone remembers a toy he
had....he can't remember if it was from the late 60s or early 70s. He says it
was this hoola-hoop thing with elastic type bands attached from the edges into
the center...you know the things that went in the middle of a 45 when you
wanted to play it?? well, he says the elastic bands were attached to the middle
with something that looked like that. He says you could put the middle of it
on your head and pull it down over you and let go and it would go sailing in
the air....or you could launch things from the middle....anyone know what he's
talking about????

That sounds like a Whammo toy, but I can't remember the name. I
remember one with netting like a basketball net. Hmm. Tell your
husband we'll all think some more and get back to him! :-)

Sounds like your husband was doing a little experimenting with mind altering
substances....
