Every amazon product has a ten digit Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN), in this case it starts with a “B” and is the thing right after “/product/” in the URL. Everything afterwards is “URL cruft” and may be discarded unless you are after Amazon referrals, (and I don’t see a “tag=sayuncle-20&” in this one.)
I remember when the National Toy Association proclaimed
two annual “best developmental toy” awards.
One year, it was….A Large Cardboard Box
Another year, it was….A Stick.
I believe these were both in the last 15 years.

Anyone take the time to transcribe that URL? Something’s telling me there’s a pretty god Easter egg hidden under there.

Patience IS a virtue, trying to parse that and type it in! And I’m thinking the kids did some ‘work’ to get there!!! 🙂

Don’t let it spoil Christmas for you. The first version of this had a Searce catalogue number, in ca. 1904.

@CaptDMO, How about a stick that is bent in the middle so it can be pointed like a handgun? 😉
