So unfortunately, it didn't work out for them in the long run, but it was pretty fascinating.

The belief is that we're looking at like kind of corn husk dolls, stuff like that. Very simple. Again, we're talking about thousands of years ago. No one really knows for sure the very first quote toy or doll. But because the technology was so simple back then that all you really needed was like a piece of string, twine, whatever that you bundled together.

The guy who created it was a naval engineer, and he was working on submarines, actually, and found the Slinky. just like in his development of various engines and other mechanics that had to exist in these submarines, it was just sort of like on his desk and he accidentally knocked it over and suddenly it did its, you know, classic slinky thing. And he's like, I could probably sell this.

They started pretty simply. The guy who created Legos in the first place was just kind of making wooden toys. And he kept at that until his toy factory actually burned down. And he decided maybe we'll try this plastic thing. In the 1950s and 60s, he sort of evolved...

his work into including more plastic devices and toys and and came up with this idea of having these kind of bricks that snap together. Unfortunately, his factory burned down again. Separate factory also burned down. He rebuilt again. Thankfully, the next factory actually stuck around for a while and he was able to build this sort of conglomerate of Lego.

And now the fascinating thing about Lego is today The largest manufacturer of tires is Lego. They make the most tires in the world because of those little tiny rubber tires that they put on the cars in Lego boxes.
