My sister and I used to have one of these! It was awesome, and those kids in the commercial suck at riding them! LOL
I remember my sister and I used to race neighborhood kids our age on our inchworm against them on their tricycles, and we would win more than half the time. It was an awesome toy!
It was the summer of '72. I remember watching this commercial just as a man approached my next door neighbor's house to let them know one of their kids has been struck by a car while riding her bycycle. I can still hear the Mother screaming hysterically while my Mom tried to calm her down...this tune reminds me of that tragic day..
I've had this song stuck in my head for 40 years. It finally occurred to me to look it up on the 'tube. Thanks for posting it. I'll try to get it stuck in my kids' heads.
I had one of these back in the early 1970's. It was a fun toy. When I outgrew it, I gave it to the son of family friends. Thanks for posting this video.
The kids down the street had one. If you notice the kids were riding downhill because they were too slow on flat ground. They had one way wheels and short forward stretch action. You couldn't go uphill because the plastic wheels would slip.
I had an inchworm like this when I was little. I LOVED to ride it. I know that they are making this again... I think Red Rider (the wagon company) is making it (looks a little different now though)... too bad they don't make this in an adult size. I am sure that I would love one now as much as I did when I was a kid... (NO dirty mind intended)!!!
My old Inchworm is still up in the top of my parents' barn...along with my rocking horse and---a real rarity---my Chitty Chitty Bang Bang pedal car. Unfortunately, the pedal car needs some serious work to restore it to its former glory.
I rode a big balloon with a handle on it up and down up and down like instructed. I ended up with a stomach ache. I think inchworms and balloons are for kids with vaginas.
I LOVED the inchworm. I was too old for one by the time it became popular but I never missed a chance to climb on one of the neighborhood kids inchworm and scoot around!
I used to love this commercial when I was little. I used to think this was SUCH a pretty song. But really, the "ride up and down and up and down" part would go over like a lead balloon with the censors nowadays! Cuz we're all a bunch of dirty- minded folk, LOL!!!
I wonder what she/he did to make you say that...beating kids for having fun...whew...glad I got the Mom I did..instead of another "mother" I could have had! =)
I remember this. if i do , that means I am older than I want to be, but i still love the commercial.

Nowadays you would probably be accused of being insensitive to worms if you owned one of these. What a tragic abuse of an innocent legless creature!

I'm not sure I can figure out what's the link between kids ridding giant plastic worms and parents' love...
Though, this does not prevent the ad to be very ambiguous (particularly at that period when a lot of psychological studies were led ! )
