bayrider Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Ya, I find it hard to believe people still play with Slinkies. Regardless, did you try bending it back? Place it over some warm heat (not too hot) and try bending it back. It might have a kink but its better than a complete bend!

Martyn Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Yeah :p They are pretty fun Ha ha yer, slinky's rock :D get a metal slinky. I second that. I used to have a lot of the coloured plastic one's when I was a kid, but in the end I broke load's of them, so I got a metal one and it rocks :D. Make's the best sound ever as well.

devBrian Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 My slinky is bent to the left a bit. I read somewhere that 30% of men have a slinky that bends to the left, 10% to the right, the other 60% is straight, down, or up. Er... oh... slinky.

crimsonhead Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Try to unbend it, then sit on it for 30 days like a mother goose. The heat and warmth of your body will bring new life to it!

Galley Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Bent slinkys work just as good as the straight ones (at least that's what chicks tell me). :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/490619-help-my-slinky-is-bent/page/2/#findComment-587831297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdodson Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Put it in some really hot water for a minute or two, then take it out and push the rings together, so that it's in the form it should be in. Hold it like that until it cools, or put a book on top of it. It should be much better if not perfect now.
