Plastic ones suck, they would always get tangled and wouldn't work well. Best thing to do with them IMO is to get them to go down a whole flight of stairs.

and if for some god forsaken reason you get tired of playing with it (which i highly doubt), you can tangle it all up and try to untangle it (it'd become a puzzle, hours of entertainment... or frustration) hehe

ahhhhh. the good old days, i remember the world of untangling slinkies
"The makers of the thing have somehow convinced themselves and others that a film revolving around a length of metal coil is a suitable investment. "We are creating a completely imaginary, full world all based on the Slinky," says the film's director Henrique Vera-Villanueva. "The main character is a big Indiana Jones-type Slinky.""

who invented the slinky? pretty ingenious invention, besides being a classic toy, it also helps demonstrate wave motion
