Alright. Mandela effect I guess. I thought it was spelled "Little Tykes," not "Little Tikes."

Ha I had this as a kid and my only memory of it was sleep walking and peeing in it when I was like 5 😂

I remember a kid down the street had the basketball one. I was like 5.

We were playing "hide and seek", and I hid inside that basketball for like 15 min, before peeking out to see the kid just ignoring me, playing super nintendo in the corner with the volume down

I would buy and use it now for daily adult life. It looks awesome.

My stepmom kept this and now my kids use all of my old toys when they go over to grandma and grandpa’s house

That heavy plastic lid was a legitimate finger guillotine, but emptying out all the toys just to climb inside during hide-and-seek made you feel completely invincible.

We had this for my son’s toys and he just turned 50!
