Summary: Great fun for the pre-electronic entertainment generation
Comment: I had one of these Super Balls when I was a kid back in the 60's and early 70's. I would spend hours throwing it up against the garage door and catching it on the rebound. It's called Super Ball for good reason, if you were to throw it as hard as possible straight down onto the asphalt this sucker would literally take off higher than a roof top. Sadly mine was forever lost when it was stolen from me by the bully down the street who promptly tossed it into the sewer, a death trap for wayward toys.
A little Super Ball trivia. I was reading a book on the history of the NFL and how a man came up with the name Super Bowl for the new championship game to be held between the two conferences. He had a couple children who had just received a new Super Ball by Wham-O and they were running around with it yelling SUPER BALL! SUPER BALL! So he thought to himself... The colleges have their Bowl games, maybe we should call the NFL's big game the "Super" Bowl. And there you have it!
