Hot Wheels zoomed into our lives back in 1968, thanks to Elliot Handler's stroke of genius. He watched his son play with Matchbox cars and thought, 'Hey, why not make a cooler, flashier version?' And bam! Hot Wheels was born, complete with flashy designs, big wheels, and those iconic tracks. It was all about bringing that hot rod vibe into the palms of kids (and adults who are kids at heart).

I got my first Hot Wheels in the '70s, and let me tell you, it wasn't just a car; it was a dream. Handler basically saw his kid playing and thought, 'Let's make this an 100x more awesome.' That's how Hot Wheels came into existence. It's not just about the cars; it's about creating a world where those cars are the heroes. Pure magic, if you ask me.

Actually, Hot Wheels was Elliot Handler throwing shade at Matchbox cars. He was like, 'I can make something way cooler,' and he did. Hot Wheels was all about being the edgier, more souped-up alternative with cars that looked like they were born to race and do loop-the-loops on those bright orange tracks.
