Yup. Even though I turned 15 and went crazy for 'em - at 43 years old I'm smart enough to know that at the molecular level they are still icky.

That really is nice to hear. Computers and Playstations are nice and all but I do sometimes miss the days when kids used their own imaginations to entertain themselves. It made for more interesting kids too IMO. They all seem the same to me now-a-days.
What the heck were those? We didn't have 'em in my neighborhood. My bros had superman & spidie. I had Barbie & Betty & Veronica. Also was a big fan of Beano, but that was British, IIRC, don't know if you could get it here w/o a transatlantic subscription.
Can you imagine the display if one of these computer whiz-kids decided to integrate a program with a freight yard set-up? All automatic switching, coupling etc?
