    For me it's gotta be metal. Plastic Slinkys just make me think they are imitation Slinkys, even though they are real ones.

    Also, have you ever fell asleep with a Slinky in bed with you? I did once as a kid, and it got all tangled up in my hair

    Metal.

    the kind that cuts you when you try and pick it up. That's all I had when we we're growing up.

    Plastics, sheeesh....Kids today are punks.

    I love flinging Slinkys around like those robot arms. Of course my dogs get scared and run away.

    I also hate when the Slinky gets so stretched out it doesn't work anymore.

    The plastic ones don't do anything at all.

    Metal all the way.

    I don't think plastic have enough weight behind them to do much.

    Slinky dog rocks. :cool:

    I prefer plastic slinkies, just because I like the colors they can come in. :D

    But no matter what kind of slinky a person has, it stinks when this happens:

    Due to a traumatic experience, I may have to go with plastic. When I was a kid, I had a metal one that I left next to the fireplace. When I picked it up, it was freaking hot, burned a circle in my hand like the guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark!

    Then again, after it cooled off I still had my slinky. If it was a plastic one it would have been goo.

    Plastic Slinkys are for Nancy-boys and left handed people.

    Too bad in a thousand years Slinkys will be made of a material that will cause them to burn when they brake.
