fisher price toy squid stretchy

I cannot remember this toy i found in a career fair from fisher price booth. It was stretchy made of probably latex .

description wise end of it was a squid like with a hook for a finger
for better visualization here is a link for simillar toy

imagine the above with a latex hook for your finger and if you threw it at something it would swing back.

Anyone can help me identify it or am i just talkin crazy!

Are you by any chance thinking of a Koosh sling shot?

I remember getting octopi that you could throw at the wall and they would cling and fall down. Made of purplish slimy sticky latex? Not sure if they were fisher price or what the name was though but I'd get them from the bins at the local toy store for like a dollar with money I saved up. They'd work three or four times but then get too linty to really stick. They were neat.

er...walk down the wall. Not fall down. though that is all they did once they became linty.

I'm pretty sure the toy beautifulcheese is talking about is a Wacky Wall Walker. I'd get them from cereal boxes back in the early 80s. More info here.

Best answer: A jelly yo-yo, maybe? My nieces and nephews always have them, so I'd guess they're available at Target or Toys R Us.
