My brother and I too played with one of those in the 50's. The wing could be slid further to one side or slightly angled relative to the main body for different effects. As to the "take it or leave it", that was how it was in our home. "Eat it, it's good for you" was one take and when my nephews stayed with my folks, they'd say "Mom says we don't like that" and my Dad would say "eat it, it's good for you" and when they'd actually like it, it put a real crimp in their mother's food hating.
