Wham-O

And just like that, only one day left for summer vacation!

 

The Slip 'n Slide is a toy manufactured by Wham-O, first introduced in 1961 after being invented by Robert Carrier.

 

The toy is a long sheet of thin plastic, flanked lengthwise on one side by a heat-sealed tubular fold. The tube can be attached to any ordinary garden hose. Water runs through the tube and out small perforations, spraying onto the sliding surface. The Slip 'n Slide then becomes very slippery, enabling users to jump onto the plastic and slide the length of the sheet. [per Wiki]
