It’s a trip down nostalgia lane, and it’s a feeling many adults like to visit each and every day.

A study of 2,000 adults by SWNS Digital found that the average adult possesses on average 20 toys from their childhood.

According to the results of the poll, 65% of people say they kept toys to pass them down to their children or grandchildren, 57% say they kept them because they're sentimental, and 59% say they're probably better than anything you could buy today.

The #1 toy people kept?  Barbie dolls, followed by LEGOs, Hot Wheels, G.I. Joes, Suzy Homemaker appliances, Fisher-Price telephones, Lite-Brites, Slinkys, Rubik's Cubes, and Nerf balls.
