Does anyone remember this 80s/90s toddler/child's toy?

I hovered over /r/ to see it was adult oriented... When I was young I used to push around this hollow plastic noisemaker push wheel, I think the wheel was yellow and had teeth that stuck out perpendicular to the wheel as opposed to parallel and on either of the fork legs were spring arm kinda things to ping off the teeth and give a sound like this: https://soundcloud.com/truthdubstep/truth-juno

< The thing looked something like this

I managed to find out the game we used to play in elementary: treasure cove.

it's xevoz

SOB, I meant to say I was shamelessly looking for any sauce on this toy. The Wheel was hollow like a drum and novelty of the toy played off the acoustics of the sound caused by the... wheel. Anyone know what I'm... talking about?

is that a ploy to bump that terms search count?

Hey, OP. Are you this of this Fisher Price Rattle Ball?

However, I know it didn't play dubstep like in your soundcloud sample.

Either that or the FP popcorn popper, which is a ubiquitous childhood toy.

Sadly, it also does not play dubstep.

And then there's this third FP push toy, which is a "melody push chime."

I think this one does play dubstep. Very ahead of it's time.

I think >>5563394 is the one that OP is remembering but we're on a roll. There's this clown push toy as well.

It plays ICP instead of dubstep.

Thanks for looking, not like any of those it made a buzzing noise like in the song link. That's how I thought of the toy, hopefully you will too. The design is very close to my post. 3 or 4 colours like light red, green, blue and yellow. can't remember the colours exactly.

Here's a "Happy Hoppers" push toy from FP. Every time you push it, the three Little People characters jump up to hit the glass ceiling.

Since Pete the Puppy is in constant pain, it's very fitting that it plays tunes from Nine Inch Nails.

Unfortunately, if it ain't these ones, then I can't help you. They're the most popular push toys around. FP has made them for decades and still does in an updated design. It could be that the toy you're looking for is an off-brand model made by a smaller toy company. If that's the case, then tough luck. Outside of nostalgia fueled Fisher-Price, there's very little interest & info on toddler toys post 80's era.

BTW, this vintage push toy plays Ragtime Jazz.

Could this be what you're thinking of? I live in Germany and they usually sell these at fairs over here.

Here's another pic. As you can see, the handles are clear tubes that are filled with candy. Dunno if that helps, but they do make that rattling noise.

They come in a million varieties. Here's a close-up of the teeth.

>>5563465
This would be the closest yet, basically an updated version of this where the teeth point perp to the wheel and the wheel is hollow like a drum allowing for enhanced acoustics.

It's a unicycle
