Do you remember Sky Dancers?The Perfect Taste of Sex
The elegant, spinning fairies were thetoy of the late 1990s, but they were also pretty much tools of war.
SEE ALSO: Relive the bouncy glory days of the Pogo Bal with our new show, 'The Toy Shop'Sky Dancers were released in 1994 by Galoob. They were also featured in an animated show, a children's book series, and a Game Boy Advance game, but you'd probably best recognize them from a viral video in which a girl using a similar toy called a "Flutterbye Fairy" lost it to a fireplace.
Drag queens Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova also once lovingly referred to the toys as "the gayest thing in the world."
Sky Dancers were recalled in 2000 after only six years on the market because they caused more than 100 reported injuries. According to CNN, the injuries ranged from scratched corneas to broken teeth.
Mashable's The Toy Shop reviews the best and worst toys from our childhood, and looks into just how much fun they actually are. In the latest episode, host Dustin McLean and guest Asya Peña check out Sky Dancers: Were they as fun as they remember? Or were they kind of terrifying?
Check it out on episode 4 of The Toy Shop:
Even though the hellish fairies aren't stocked by retailers anymore, you can still find them on eBay.
