#7: Tough as Nails
Many Gen Xers like to think they’re tougher than the average cookie, and they may be correct. One look at this rusted, janky merry-go-round and most parents would have a breakdown. Some modern-day kids would probably be down to give it a try, but most might run the other way.
Gen X, though? They knew they were bound to have a good time if they saw one of these things on the playground. If you’re part of Gen X, you probably remember spinning this thing as fast as you possibly could in order to fling your friend off and watch them fly through the air. Good times.
