Chuck Knerr, Founded Spud 'N Rich To Continue Their Legacy of Funomenal Fun

It's what makes a hoop rotate around your hips, a disc fly gracefully across the sky, or a Whirly-Go-Round spin a child without motors or batteries. Spud and Rich recognized there are fundamental properties of physics, chemistry and other sciences that fascinate children of every age. Products that employ such properties can seem phenomenal! Combining that insight with innovation and modern style, we're creating Funomenal Fun for a new generation.
"UNBELIEVABLE BUT IT'S TRUE!"

MORE FUNOMENAL FUN!

Who Took the Play out of Playtime?
Spud 'N Rich believes kids deserve options for physical play that are more fun than staring at a screen, engaging their bodies, brains and imaginations!

NOT GRANDMA'S SIT AND SPIN

STORY OF WHIRLY-GO-ROUND
Chuck has been in love with the idea for Whirly-Go-Round since he was six years old. His Dad and Spud had played around with a metal contraption that Chuck says was a blast but they never succeeded in making it a real product.
Chuck worked hard to solve the design problems Spud and Rich couldn't. Now he's refined the ultimate design, one as beautiful as it is thrilling to ride. "I know Dad and Spud would be proud that I solved the issues that stopped them, and that children will finally enjoy the 'funnest' product they never made! I guess this nut didn't fall far from the fun tree!"
