Lemon twist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lemon Twist (or Lemon twister) is a children's toy manufactured by Chemtoy that became famous in the 1970’s. The toy consisted of a plastic yellow lemon attached to a plastic loop that was spin around the ankle. Similar to jumprope, children would win through endurance.

According to the Lemon Twister package:

1. Place one foot into spinning loop about ankle high.

2. Starting with the Lemon extended outward, swing Lemon in a forward loop as you raise foot slightly off the ground.

3. As Lemon comes around towards other foot, raise that foot high enough for Lemon to swing clearly under it.

4. Continue the Lemon swinging on one foot as you jump over it with the other foot, using a sort of “jog-in-place” action.

5. After a little practice you’ll be able to “jog forward” as you hop, skip and jump over the rotating Lemon.
