I was of the age to play with balls in the house back in a time before
home computers. My mother told me that I was not allowed to throw or
bounce balls in the house because they could end up breaking or spilling
something. I got into some sort of trouble or another even for throwing a
superball vertically to make it bounce back and forth between the floor
and the ceiling.

And, my mother knew back then and knows now that a hair dryer does not
remove anythying but water, and coffee had to be actually removed somehow.
Along with water and water-containing liquids being a *bad thing* with
most electrical devices not specifically boasting about being being made
to have a specific degree of waterproofness (splashes and spills,
rain/weather, submersible).

Do they even make those "Superballs" anymore?
I wanted to get one for my Nephew, but could not find 'em in the
stores.

I think the company was Whamo, or something like that. (?)
A very hard little rubber ball that bounce like crazy, but could put a
serious hurtin' on you if one hit you in the head.

I guess that's why they're not around anymore....???
