Most Popular Toy

lego-blocks

Survey results released last week show that the most popular kid’s toy ever manufactured  is LEGO blocks.  Makes me feel old, since they didn’t exist when I was a child, but they topped the list among respondents from 20 to 40 years of age.

The article went on to say that LEGOs were not only tops among men surveyed, they were the second most popular among girls as well, even beating Barbie, which generated a picture I could have done without.

LEGOs are also likely to continue to sell as the people in the survey group buy toys for their children and grandchildren: That's because the survey revealed a strong preference (78% of women and 63% of men) for old-fashioned toys over more modern ones, with almost half the respondents noting they still owned toys they had when they were growing up.

The story also featured a cool video showing how LEGOs are made:
