Did anyone order a box of Ringo?

Because if you did, he's ready to ship!*

and Ringo is VERY excited about being shipped!

*We did a similar post like this for Tucker a few years ago.

Eileen had a question about why a super ball is called "super" from yesterday's Thrifty Thursday post. I honestly don't know. They are small, round, rubber balls. In the 1980s, you could often find them in gumball machines for a quarter. Many kids collected the different patterns and colors.

    I always assumed 'super' was a reference to how high they could bounce.

    Yes, they were called super balls because they bounced extremely high--when new.

    Uh, oh, Ringo - I'd be careful about that "Tales from the Foster Kittens" woman.... :-)

    Ship him to us!

    We always thought they were called super balls because they had extra bounce to them. They would bounce really high.

    It looks like I'm in a long line-up. Everyone wants Ringo! And since I have a Saku it's probably for the best.

    Thanks for mentioning my question. I'll have to ask my kid brother if he had any of the super balls when he was a kid.

    They were called Super Balls because they would jump up SUPER HIGH when you bounced them, unlike other balls. Mom used to love them!
