thirty third

Y, the miracle-working maker of the A and B, bounced back into the news in 1965 with an explosive knob of rubber called X .Dropped from shoulder level, a high potency X snapped nearly all the way back; thrown down, it could leap over a three-story building; flung into a wall with spin, it kicked back with remarkable reverse English. The supercharged sphere, about the size and color of a plum, was America's most popular plaything in the summer and fall of 1965. By Christmas, just six months after it was introduced by Y, seven million of X had been sold at ninety-eight cents apiece.what was this famous X?extra points for all ids.
