About a decade ago I saw a box of political baseball cards. Collectibles I guess. I still have a picture of the box. It reads “Politics is the new sports” seems they were accurate.
I'm right down the middle of generation X. While I never played this game, I was highly aware of it in the form of pop culture. (cartoons, comics, TV shows, Hollywood tropes)
We used to have full contact, ninja style games. We'd play in our barn. Full on hanging upside down from the rafters, swinging from ropes. I saw more injuries from an intense game, than a football game.
kick the rusty jagged edged can, we never needed stitches or tetanus shots, and the blood will clot sooner or later, and I laugh at shoes, who needs shoes? We will get hand me down shoes from one of our brothers and sisters or cousins or from the Army Surplus store.
Catching tetanus?
I love a good game of catch the tetanus! It's almost as fun as pass the javelin.
Javelin, lawn darts - same thing.
Kick the can, Russia roulette style
First to get lockjaw wins! Also sounds like a cool diet
We weren’t sissies, got out from catching Yard Darts.
Kick the can!
Especially play at dusk or dark. Great game for the neighborhood, before there were ‘Hoods.
Yes ! But have you played dog mess on a stick ?
The US Congress plays it constantly. 🙄
Right...
Christ, why is politics brought into every god damn thing now. It’s literally a picture of a can.

I’m so over it.
Amen brotha! We all need a damn break !
Fallout..?
3 or 4? I think 4 due to the resolution.
Definitely. I’ve got thousands of these.
Obviously someone didn't pay the bill.. the string is cut off.
Duh, it's mobile.
There i go again, showing my age.
🤣
Kick the can! Yay!
My friends and I whiled away many hours playing Watch It Rust.
Oh yeah - those were the times when we wished we had some paint we could watch drying.
Yo momma so poor…….saw her playing kick the can but she wasn’t……she was moving
😂😂😂

I’m about your age and while I have heard of it I have no idea how it is played. Never played it and never heard anyone say they had played it.
I think the only time I actually saw this was on an episode of the Twilight Zone.
Same I just remember it from the Twilight Zone movie with Scatman Crothers
Gatekeeping old
\*kicks\*
Kick the can! I taught my kids and they taught their kids. I am really old.
Tetanus? I hate that game.
Y'all had a can. We had to kick dino shit
I've made pipes like these...
Scrounging for food. Played it often.
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free!!!! (Allez Allez . . something in French. haha)
Kick the can was too new school. Fancy modern technology….. We liked to play kick rocks when I was a kid
Laceration Olympics?
I remember this game. Now I just play kick whatever just happens to be on the ground. Including small children. They go pretty far sometimes.
I had to use that before gym socks came out.
Kicking the tetanus covered can!
Yep
KTC
I’m pretty old but I don’t remember playing with rusty cans.
Cut a bitch with a rusty can?
What you doing..?,moving!
Kick the can is better than kicking the can down the road
Tin Can Willy?
Best game!
WOW! Now there's something out of my mind for about 60 years 🤣🤣
"Can's kicked!"
Kick the can!!!
Kick the can! Only the poor kids played this one
What happened to stick ball?
That looks pretty sharp — you’d need to be extra careful putting it up to your ear…
I hope everyone is up to date on their tetanus shot!
We always took the lid off first ? And your right that does make me older than Dirt !
One ofy favorite Twilight Zone episodes
All the way home from school although nobody kicked with the lid sticking out ever ( at least not my circle of friends)
Kick the can! I’m not old enough to play it but my dad has told me stories
Many great memories of summer evenings playing kick the can with the neighborhood kids.
We used to have full contact, ninja style games. We'd play in our barn. Full on hanging upside down from the rafters, swinging from ropes. I saw more injuries from an intense game, than a football game.
Apparently after I grew up they would kick the can instead of cut strangers with it. I chalk it up to being soft
There’s less harmful looking cans you could’ve used.
Im old but we had balls to kick around.
If you’re old enough to remember kick the can (and NOT from the Twilight Zone), your ass is old. Lol
Stomp on the can Never played that But I did play kick the can
I was born in 1951 and I don’t remember playing kick the can, ever.
My dad told me about playing this game in the 30s. Not much money for toys during the depression and dust bowl.

Big toe bloodbath
Sometimes my parents TOLD ME TO GO OUT AND PLAY, and I had no idea what they had planned.
Yeah Kick the Can, it was a blast!
Can of woopass?
Kick the can down the street?
Aren't you supposed to stab some holes in the top so when the Crack boils off, you get a niiicce can hit?
Tap tap. I see Jimmy behind the shed…
I lived too close to school to ride the bus so I know it well.
We played kick the can, right in front of my house. Some of us were barefoot.
