stocking filler experiments

Thinking further about those sticking filler toys of old, I have been dreaming up experiments for them, ha ha!

1. Slinky Riders

Could an action figure be transported downstairs inside a Slinky? Like entering a black hole or a time tunnel would the figure travel the bends and up-ends of the snaking coil without falling out?

If it worked could the figure size be increased with a bigger slinky? Could spaceman Major Matt Mason successfully ride the metal to the bottom?


2. Pop Chutists

Could a small plastic parachutist be shot out of a large shaken bottle of pop like Tizer or Cream Soda, fly into the sky, open its dripping parachute and descend successfully?

3. Bubblenauts

Could a small plastic astronaut like the tiniest of SpaceX figures or even smaller be placed inside a soap bubble and then for them to both rise into the sky?

4. Canon Man or Woman

Could Action Man/ GI Joe or Barbie drive the Firebolt Lazer Canon normally ridden by Captain Lazer?

5. Dad Deck

Could a garden flight deck/ death slide style set-up be made out of the garden clothes line and a suitable plastic toy jet and fly close to the head of Mum or Dad sleeping in a deck chair?

6. Catapult

I couldn't think of anything interesting to do with this toy although there must be!

What do you think readers and can you come up with more experiments?
