And I'm sorry peanut, but collecting Pogs was on par with collecting Beenie Babies. Same era, same corny shit.

 

The hate probably comes from an age difference. I worked in a music shop back then and little snot nosed shits would always come up and ask if we had any pogs. They all had that lead paint eating pixie stick snorting stare in their eyes, and their mother had that bullshit flight attendent smile and condescending "that's right Jimmy, ask the man politely now" tone.

 

Fuck pogs.

 

Pogs are to "cool" what gay anal sex was to Marines storming the beaches of Normandy.

I was 18 in 1993 and old enough to hate. But those things were still popular with kids into my early 20's.

 

And the pogs from the 20's get a pass because kids in the 20's shot pogs like they shot marbles. They also worked in sweatshops and dust bowl fields as well as enjoyed the outdoors for fun.

 

1993 pogs were little kids with Parker Lewis haircuts who'd cry when their Sega Genesis game froze up on them.

 

 

And for those who can't remember:
