Desire Vintage: a site devoted to beautiful and archetypal objects of our culture

'It's Slinky, it's Slinky, for fun it's a wonderful toy. It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun for a girl and a boy. Everyone wants a Slinky. You ought to get a Slinky.' This memorable commercial jingle comodified it’s visual magic. Just a touch of gravity-inspired power sent this ribbon of metal coil down stairs and into the toy stratosphere.
