Better than a Slinky because it's blue on one side and a slightly different shade of blue on the other! Amazing! I was hoping to find one of those TV promotions on Youtube, but no luck.
"Super Two Color Springer"--Jerry's unsuccessful porn star name because everyone knew he was 100% white dude and far from super.
My brother and I had those. They were awesome and, yes, HUGE - as I recall, about an inch bigger across than a metal Slinky. They looked so cool when you'd play with them, as the colors shifted. Funny, though, I didn't even realize at the time that they weren't "real" Slinkies.
Two things: 1. The plastic slinky was a VASTLY INFERIOR product to the good old fashioned metal version. Something about the weight distribution just sucked. Never could get it to walk down the stairs... 2. I find "TV promoted" to be far more charming predecessor of "As Seen On TV!"
