My reason would be because the Aluminum Powder would stick to everything and then once it gets out you have a bit of a problem.

Didn't the original etch a sketch have mercury in it?

No, the original Etch A Sketch did not contain mercury. The Etch A Sketch toy uses a mixture of aluminum powder and plastic beads to create the drawings, which are then erased by shaking the toy. Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that is not used in the manufacturing of toys due to its harmful effects on human health and the environment.


How does Etch a Sketch differ from Magna Doodle?

Etch a sketch?

The Etch-A-Sketch contains very fine aluminum powder, which sticks to the glass. The knobs are connected to wires and pulleys, which move a plastic stylus vertically and horizontally. The stylus scrapes a tiny amount of the aluminum powder off the glass, leaving a visible line. If you draw all over the screen and clear away all the aluminum powder, you can see the mechanism inside.


How did Rick Santorum compare Mitt Romney to an Etch a Sketch toy?

The actual quote was: "You win by giving people a choice. You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who's just going to be a little different than the person in there. If they're going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk of what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate for the future." This was a reference to criticisms that say Mitt Romney will say or do anything to win. He later added: "It's almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again."

What was the Etch A Sketch called in England?

L’Ecran Magique, (The magic screen). Etch A Sketch was inducted into the toy hall of fame in 1998 French electrical technician André Cassagnes applied his experience with the clinging properties of an electrostatic charge to invent a mechanical drawing toy with no spare parts. He called his creation L’Ecran Magique, the magic screen. Introduced at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1959, the gadget failed to draw much attention. Numerous manufacturers passed over a chance to pick up the new toy, concluding that Cassagnes wanted too much money for it. However, the Ohio Art Company took a second look and invested $25,000, more than they had ever paid for a license. Ohio Art renamed the toy “Etch A Sketch” and began mass production later that year. Saturation advertising on television turned the toy into a must-have item for Christmas, 1960, and Ohio Art’s factory worked feverishly until noon that Christmas Eve. Etch A Sketch has changed little since then. Static charges hold a mixture of aluminum powder and tiny plastic beads to the inside of a clear plastic screen. Knobs control the horizontal and vertical rods that move a stylus where the two meet. The point scores a line across the screen’s reverse side. Experts can draw a curved or diagonal line. Turning the screen over and giving it a shake erases the picture.
