Today’s Connections reminded me of a toy my daughters had called BOP It! It was one of those toys that was supposed to teach reaction speed and as an added bonus release some pent-up aggression at the unfairness of the world, as you were given licence to bop, twist, thump and hit this lump of white plastic. However, like most toys it also became annoying pretty quickly. I can still hear the cartoon voice in my head now, saying “bop it!”, “bop it!” relentlessly for hours on end. Sadly, Bop It! suffered an untimely death after being trod on by, err, me. Sorry girls.
