Fact of the Day: Magic 8-Ball
The Magic 8-Ball, invented in 1946 by Abe Bookman of the Alabe Toy Company, is a novelty version of the crystal ball. It is a hard black plastic sphere, the size of a small grapefruit, which reveals answers to life's most perplexing issues when it is turned upside-down. The answers are on a white plastic die made in the shape of an icosahedron and floating in a blue liquid. Of the twenty possible answers, ten are positive, five negative, and five neutral. The name of the novelty comes from its resemblance to the ball used in pool and billiards.
I loved these and nowadays they have the Magig Date Ball and the Sponge Bob Magic 8 Ball(It is Yellow and Has SB face on it with SB sayings). They are still for to play with to this day!
