Lato-lato, a children's toy that says 'tek-tek-tek' is currently being played viral by children. Unexpectedly the number one person in Indonesia, President Joko Widodo, also plays the old school game.

Recently, social media has been enlivened with pictures and videos of children playing lato-lato, which has caught the public's attention, making the public curious about what lato-lato is.

Lato-lato is a game that became viral in the United States in the late 1960's and early 1970's. It was very viral back then. Already in the 1970s, the barn reached residents of Calcinatello, a small Italian province of 12,832 inhabitants.

In fact, according to John P. Swann, an FDA historian, the popularity of the lato-lato in Calcinatello has made lato-lato lovers there hold an annual competition.

The virality of lato-lato in the early 1970s caused hundreds of toy makers to sell millions of lato-lato or clackers all over the world.
