Seeing a lot of bop-its the last week or so. Is there like some guerilla marketing campaign going on? Are they coming back?

Bop-its never really went away. We used to buy the kids a version of one every few years from 2010-2020.

I got the Mandalorian bop-it a couple years ago and it's hilarious. Hearing Din Djarin say "pull it, twist it" makes me crack up every time.

You know, being 45 and in early menopause, I’d be down with a come back. This would be a fun way to get my plyometrics in to keep my bone density up.

I do do plyo, I just like to mix it up. Also come talk to me when you have been sick for a decade and now don’t have endogenous sex hormones anymore.

I had a SkipIt and Pogo Ball (Hot pink with yellow and teal board) and I loved them both. I used them all the time as a kid.

I thought the skip it had a thin solid arm you jumped over. Not a rope.

I don't know how long ago they re-released them, but the one he's using here is a new modernized version. Instead of just being an analogue counter it takes batteries and has lights, sounds, and a digital counter that goes basically forever.
