Bungee Balls are toys that are produced as a means of enhancing a person's hand/eye Coordination.

[edit] Composition

Traditionally, a bungee ball is made of plastic, and at one end a person slips slip his/her finger into a notch and at the other end is a large ball containing synthetic liquid.

[edit] Fashion and availability

Bungee Balls were a fad in March of 2003, and most Bungee Balls were sold during this time period^{[citation needed]}. After March 2003, they started vanishing from stores, partly because of controversy over what was contained inside them^{[citation needed]}. They were also discontinued in many stores because usually after about 4-7 hours of use, the Bungee Ball's bungee cord would snap, making the toy useless, and the ball itself would break, releasing synthetically-made liquid. They were recalled in October 2003, nearly all of the bungee balls had vanished from retail stores, and are now mainly available by online shopping^{[citation needed]}.
