If You Remember These Toys...

 
Then you are my people.
 
Apparently they were called  Brabo Parapools but we always called them Pooper Paratroopers. The three inch plastic figures were heavy enough to make the parachute work like it should. You could toss them high up into the air from the ground or drop them off the balcony. Either way we spent hours chasing them around the apartment complex until we were hungry and tired. Those were the days when staying inside was a punishment. Today it's just the opposite. You want your kids to suffer, cut off their access to all the entertainment they have inside the house like computers or game systems.

Yup, these were vending machine gems.

Would load them in a sling-shot and "launch" them, as well...
Thank you my Friend for this childhood memory...
