Lemon Twist Toy


Lemon Twist by Chemtoy was released in 1975. Put the loop around your ankle, then skip in place while the plastic lemon at the end of the rope twirls in a circle.

  2. I wore out 3 Lemon Twists in the early 80's. I still have one in storage that is mended with black electrical tape. I'm glad someone else remembers these too!

  3. Where can I buy a lemontwist with the lemon? The ones I see don't have a lemon. That's what so memorable about it.

  7. Man, the things that could amuse kids in the 70's! These were all the rage in my neighborhood when I was a kid and I couldn't wait to get one. The novelty wore of pretty quickly though, and I think the lemon fell off & I went back to regular jump rope.
