Subject: childhood toy
Hi my name is coby, I don't know if anyone remembers this, but in 1982 or so there was a toy put out they were fuzzy worms with invisible string attached to their noses. They came in 5 or 6 colors. You would use the invisible string to make them look like they are moving. If anyone knows what i am talking about or where i might be able to find them I would appreciate it greatly. I'm not sure why I have been looking for them for such a long time but I would like to find the collection. You can reach me at fuzzyandshiny@yahoo.com or 510.849.0684
thank you
coby

I have posted this same question myself - I think they were called squirmles or something like that. If you find a definite answer let me know - I always wanted one! They came out with cheapie knockoffs you could buy from the quarter vending machines, but they were never as good.

I do remember those, but I have no clue as to what they were called. Now you have me curious! Hope someone knows the answer!
