There's a mistake there in the article. It was yellow rubber, not grey.

the grey one is a tourniquet and was in the car's first aid kit.

But the chicest was considered to be a 4mm tyre strip. it had the strongest kick.

The grey one is a tourniquet, it was in the car's first-aid kit.

But the chicest was considered to be a 4mm tyre strip. it had the strongest kickback.

The rubber had different colours and shapes: round in cross-section, square in cross-section and rectangular. The round one was much farther away. If I'm not mistaken, rectangular rubber was used for rubber gliders.

There were no such tourniquets in the car first aid kit. The car kit had a blood tourniquet, it would have been crimson (or brown). Maybe there were some grey ones and they were suitable for a slingshot, I don't know. But that blood-stopping tourniquet wasn't suitable for a slingshot.

The slingshots were made of tape used in physiotherapy rooms. It's about 4 or 5 cm wide and about 2 mm thick. The pharmacy had two types of tape, grey and yellow. Yellow was in short supply, as soon as it appeared, it was sold out immediately.

About the slingshot being able to break a bottle of champagne from three metres away - rubbish. A good slingshot is a terrifying weapon in capable hands, you can break a bottle of champagne from 50 metres.

And the round one was much farther.

Yes, that was an option, too.

Exactly.

What children used to do for fun in the USSR.

Oh, man. It's catchy.

Forgot the traffic. It was like an epidemic. Cologne corks, creams, etc. Well, festival, prince, god, etc.

And the caps, remember? Peach, lemonade and beer caps were taken. Then the edges of the lid were flattened and the lid was turned into a "pancake". The game options were to hit one lid on the other, and if the second lid turned over, you won. Or you build a stack of these lids and throw a spanner into the stack.

There used to be something like that, I think it was called "stuffing", but it wasn't a quoted game, my grandparents used to chase it, so they didn't play it.

We also had fun with toys like this: a scarecrow made from a bicycle needle, a scarecrow made from a tube
