I remember playing that with my sisters. Do they even still sell those?"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.

I think I'll look for any stats on this toy.
I didn't see anything negative about the game; in fact, just the opposite. The creator started in his basement and then moved to a building in Tennessee with 125 employees. He then sold it. He had a few successful games/toys also.
He passed up buying the rights to Scrabble. He ALWAYS regretted that!

The Cootie game is marketed by Milton Bradley, which is owned by Hasbro.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

The older versions were much harder. The tolerances were much tighter back in the day.

Tom, the newer game has a setting for sensitivity. The kids started out on the easiest and took it from there. Also has a mute setting which after a few hours saved my partial sanity.Yep, my name really is Bob.

There were plenty of those back in our day, but they didn't have social media to put the spotlight on how dumb they were.
There are also plenty of super smart young'ns out there still too.
