Funny guy.

I am actually wondering who originally came up with the design; these things are of course nowadays pumped out by China with all kinds of different stickers and decorations and such, but I'm just curious who made the first one.

How is it a race if they have to take turns?

It's like a mill race; it's not actually a competition. Just a race for penguins.

TFW remembering how Kay-Bee Toys always had this on display & running at the front of the store along with that barking, flipping toy dog.

I know they sell the toy, but were they the first to do so?

The inventor of Penguin Race actually was named K.B. Toys (the "K" stood for "Kaybee").

The term is "marble escalator", and it's been around for decades.

Pretty sure penguins came before marbles.
