K'NEX are building toys made of plastic rods and connectors which are color-coded by shape and length. The system appears to be a descendant of traditional Tinker Toys (though is unaffiliated with that product). According to the product's official website, the Pennsylvania-based manufacturer is committed to environmentally friendly, energy efficient practices.

I spent 90 bucks on K'nex yesterday. I figured it was a healthier alternative to the drinking I did the night before.
