The Water Wiggle was released in 1962 by Wham-O, a company that’s now infamous for creating some of the most problematic kids toys ever made.

Just for the sake of clarity here, not all these were invented in the 90s, but they sure as heck made the 90s a lot more interesting and dangerous. No better example of this was when Mattel released the Vibrating Nimbus 2000, which was the flying broom Harry owned.

Trampolines might seem like a fun way to get a little exercise in your backyard, but they actually send almost 100,000 people to the hospital every year. Over a period of eight years, lawn darts had sent 6,100 people to the emergency room,” reports MentalFloss.
