- Wheel: There was, way back in 1992, a toy in McDonald's happy meals in the shape of the Nickelodeon blimp. You'd blow into it, and it would spin two spinners to select a category and a letter; then, you take turns naming things starting with that letter in that category. Well, I missed it so I implemented one. Click (tap) the wheels to spin them.
