I certainly remember my Wham-O “Monster Magnet” from back in the 60’s.

I think I bought almost every product they sold. Often multiple times.

From Wikipedia:

In the late 1960s Wham-O made a "giant" Super Ball, roughly the size of a bowling ball, as a promotional stunt. It fell from the 23rd story window of an Australian hotel (or some reports say, from the roof) and destroyed a parked convertible car on the second bounce.

Oops.

There was a movie made about some of these products, but it's a fictionalized account.

You know, for kids!
