I've gone and twisted my slinky in two places and can't figure out how to get it back in to shape without snapping it! Any ideas on how to fix a slinky?
For reference it's made of plastic, red and around 4 inches in height although it can get pretty big when you pull it!

Why is a Slinkey like a politician?

Ooooh, once your Slinky's twisted you stand a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting it to entertain your friends and family as it glides effortlessly down the stairs again. Say your goodbyes, bury it in the garden and move on.

Unfortunately, once it is bent, the slinky is done for.
