need to know name of 70's toy

[Joann Raytar]

Ok, I need your help on this one. During one of our slower days at work we were recalling the toys of our youth and ran across one none of us can remember the name of. Someone here has to be able to help. It was a little, colorful fuzzy worm thing with a string attached that you could make do tricks like weave around your fingers and etc. What was it called?

[Cindy Hamlin]

I remember the toy you were speaking of, but for the life of me can't remember the name. If I do remember will let you know.

Hey yea we still have then here in the UK think they are called wigilly worms or something like that. See loads of em at the seaside.

I had one myself-it was green and for some reason the name Squirmy or something along that line comes to mind

[Darris Chambless]

How about "Repulso the Fly Larva?" Just a guess :-)

Darris "I should market" Chambless

This is makin me nuts...I had a green one, but the name is just a little too far away.
You tied it to your button and make it run through your fingers... it was very cool at the time. The kids today would laugh at it,but,I guess we were "easy to amuse"...probably still are.

I don't believe there was a specific name.

The girlfriend bought one at the mall two X-mas' ago, and the kids LOVED it...

So, it is still available. If a name is needed to assist you, I kinda think it was a cutsie type name...
