Is it Duplos or Jacks that hurt worse for you when you step on them?
My brother and I took feet in hand and did a stomp test. Where Jacks have one point of penetration and can penetrate the skin, Duplos and Legos have at least 2 points that hurt a lot but don’t necessarily penetrate the skin. Any other opinions or experience? Of course we only tested at the middle of the foot, we did not test heels or toes or edges. So the methodology is flawed a bit, but it was on the same spot on each foot.

Is this a question? Why did you do this?
i think you have too much time on your hands.
Is this some new rite of passage or just creative masochism?
Oh my God! The first really great question of 2010!
I smell the birth of a new award.
Well, We got to talking and he has two young children. A couple few icy cold malt beverages were consumed and we were on our way.
Hot Wheels can hurt pretty badly too. My money is on jacks though.
There isn’t much of a difference between jacks and caltrops.
Pain is stepping barefoot on any of the following in a small child’s room in the dark:
jacks
Legos
Duplos
Hot Wheels
marbles
plastic dinosaurs
Bristle Blocks
Transformers
action figures
rocks
I think I’m going to have to go with duplos over jacks, on carpeted surfaces, but the reverse on hardwood.
Brother Doug tends to agree with @PandoraBoxx although we could only find a few jacks, and he has very bony feet. I was pretty much a duplos man all the way because I am significantly heavier and did not get penetration with the jacks; the additional height and additional pointy bits on the duplos won it for me. Thank goodness my son is 17. My older brother Dave still stands by his weebles theory, but we had none for this test.
Stepping on a Booda Bone in the dark is not too much fun, either.
What does a Booda Bone look like?
@majorrich, these look rather obscene, but they really are dog chews. My dog leaves them, and soggy, half-chewed pigs’ ears all over the house.
Looks like a texture plus the slimy dog saliva feel. Ewww
And sharp, jagged edges from being gnawed on.
