Remeber ole stretch Armstrong? You would pull on his body and he would stretch in all directions. I remember that I got him for Christmas many moons ago, and I stretched him so far that the goo started to seep out of his body! Then we put him in the freezer until the goo froze over.

I miss stretch!

Stretch Armstrong

I had one when I was about 5 or 6, which was in the early 90s so it wasn't the original :p I had Stretch Armstrong, Fetch Armstrong, the mini stretch and mini fetch. All of which busted when we streched them too far :(

Yeah it was. My 7 year old cousin cried when we managed to rip his legs off because we pulled too much. We didn't think it possible, but apparently the toy company was too cheap to use advances in technology to make that impossible.

I remember that they (I had several) would emit a stench worse than burning hair, when burned at the stake. The flame would last awhile too!

The goo inside Stretch tasted like maple syrup. Yes, I tasted it and I'm sure you did too.
