Bungee Ball

Bungee balls are toys that are produced as a means of enhancing a person's hand-eye coordination.

Composition

Traditionally, a bungee ball is made of plastic. At one end or an elastic cord a person slips his/her finger into a notch and at the other end is an elastic hollow ball containing synthetic liquid.

Fashion and availability

Bungee balls were a fad in March 2003, and most bungee balls were sold during this time period. After March 2003, they started vanishing from stores, partly because of controversy over what was contained inside them. They were also discontinued in many stores because usually after about 4-7 hours of use, the Bungee Ball's bungee cord would snap, and the ball itself would break, releasing synthetically-made liquid. They were recalled in October 2003, nearly all of the bungee balls had vanished from retail stores, and are now mainly available by online shopping.
