    I wish I had known better when I was younger (at least my parents did, and they had the money, not me) Now things are easier. We have internet reviews. We let others try it before we buy it.

    It didn’t even float on top of the water for a very long time when you just put it on there, so it’s still a dud product.

    Yeah, launching anything from the middle of a ramp at a stand still is just going to end up flopping over. These kids fail at basic physics.

    I now totally want one of these Typhoon II toys.

    And those kids whining about how it won’t jump from a *standing start*, and about how it’s hard to control? Sheesh, get in there and explore and practice and modify. It’s a *toy* FFS! *Play* with the freaking thing!

    Kids today. Srsly.

    Hey Frank! You should upload this and the Food Ad Tricks to TeacherTube. That way we can steal–I mean use– your lesson plan a little more easily. Youtube is blocked in my district, for example.

    little punks need to give the typhoon 2 more momentum before they decide to launch it in the water. I bet if you gave me like 10 minutes maneuvering that typhoon I could do the same thing it is doing in the commercial…besides those toys are for young adults, not 10 year olds.
