How many of you had a See and Say when you were a kid? I see the newer ones with levers, but I prefer the pull-string from my childhood.
Earlier today, something reminded me of this and I went to look up how it worked. I knew there were no batteries needed, but it made sounds. These toys were also super tough.
How did it work? I went to look it up and found that it is using old tech invented by Thomas Edison. Check out the How Stuff Works article.
But what does the fox say?
I took mine apart, man… it's a **** inside.
My 6 year old fun was therefore tarnished by scientific inquiry.
