I believe the Crunch Ball is one of the greatest balls and is certainly the lightest. It is very special as a concept and one of three products launched by Cap Toys. One day, being fed up with all the styrene peanuts flooding my office after opening cartons, I told two assistants to make a ball out of parachute material and stuff it with those styrene peanuts. Voila! It became the lightest and easiest ball to smack and catch.
The Crunch Ball can be played in the water as well as on land. My boys grew up with the ball, and loved it. Because we have always lived in apartments the hall was our backyard and the Crunch Ball was ideal for indoor play.
Its short life had nothing to do with its merits; I believe that this product line needed TV support and a promotional plan. It should be made again.
