Toy-Ventures: All About Crazy Foam!

Toy-Ventures this week is all about Crazy Foam, we get into the history of this unique product, and explore it’s origins including a recently restored commercial. We also deal with the fact that many of us are nostalgic for Superheroes vomiting on us in the tub. No wonder I see a therapist…

Are you still reading? OK, well, I spent all weekend making this, I have a really supportive family. Also, making a video about shaving cream cans is challenging. Even if those shaving cream cans have Batman on them. I love these things, but they’re not dynamic in any way. I’m glad I did this, though, because nobody else has. I mean, seriously, when I google this stuff, I get one photo that I took 20 years ago. Somebody sell me a Wonder Woman.

Happy Fathers day!
