They aren’t so popular these days, but go back fifty years or so and I can almost guarantee that every child would have a Jack-in-the-box somewhere in their toy collection, along with yoyo’s, cats cradles, and other old-fashioned games that kids these days are too shallow and materialistic to appreciate. But did you ever wonder why little kids don’t tend to play with Jack-in-the-boxes anymore? It’s all down to a toy factory, a chemical leak, and a lot of mysterious disappearances.
All those years ago, there was a huge warehouse in the countryside situated right next to a nuclear power plant, and in that warehouse there was a coal-powered machine which produced hundreds of Jack-in-the-boxes every hour. Sweet, little clowns stuffed into beautifully decorated boxes. Every child wanted one, and come Christmastime every child DID have one, but they weren’t half as innocent as what the adverts on the black and white televisions described them as. One day there was a mysterious chemical explosion from the nuclear power plant. Toxic waste leaked into the warehouse which contaminated every toy in sight, turning them evil and malicious. Somehow, these toys were sent out to every popular toy store in the country, and some were even shipped abroad, without anyone noticing that they weren’t what the seemed. Children soon started to disappear, but nobody suspected a cute little toy sat in the corner of the room. So if your grandparents (or maybe even your parents) keep banging on about ‘the good old days’ then just remind them of the fact that there are (hopefully) no killer toys running around these days.
