Wizzzer was basically a two-tone, plastic gyroscope. My sister's was purple and green I think.

On one end it had a small rubber cone which you "whizzed" along the floor to power it up like a friction motor; then let it go. On the other end was a hole for different attachments. For example you could put a slotted piece of plastic in and make the wizzzer walk along a piece of string!

    I am looking for a plastic short tube that you could blow through, it had an angled propeller wheei inside and when wind went through it, it made the sound ofn engine revving up. Anyone remember them?

    I couldn't think of the name, was about to make an entry under 'Spinning Top' to see if any one remembered them, and then recalled it began with 'W' and here it is! Whizzers! You were supposed to be able to balance one on top of the other (according to the TV add) but I don't know if we ever achieved that!

Do you remember these?
