1. Of course, it was the only fad I got in to

[JVS]

2. Alf's back; in POG form!

[ET Awful]

8. I was gonna say that!

You stole my line :)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

3. see, I had a lot of those

But apparently there was a game you were supposed to play with them..

yeah the girls never got into the game, we just collected the ones with the pretty pictures... along with sandpets.

[JohnKleeb]

4. Yeah I remember that, there was a game.

[NYC Liberal]

6. I had a ton of 'em...but never played the game either

Have no clue where mine went.

[JohnKleeb]

9. My worst day in Elementary School:

Someone stole all my pogs at recess :cry: :cry:

[Reverend_Smitty]

21. Yeah that happened at my school too...

although I think someone had a few expensive slammers stolen after that fiasco they were banned from school. By 6th grade (Sept of 1996) the fad was over

[name not needed]

10. I lost all my pogs.

I must have had about 300.

11. I still have a large ziploc bag of those in the attic in the garage!

That goes to show that I really need to clean out that attic. :eyes:

[NYC Liberal]

12. Yeah, I had them in those tube things they sold

[JohnKleeb]

13. yeah those things! god memory lane

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. At least you were organized!

I wonder if they would sell on Ebay? I may have a fortune in junk in that attic! Sadly, I don't think there's any grilled cheese up there.

[Reverend_Smitty]

22. I had 3 rather large ones full of pogs...

I remember one time I was flying up to see my dad and I had them in my carry on bag. I guess the x-ray lady thought I was packing contra-band because I had to open up my bag and show the lady what was in the plastic tubes. I've probably flown 100 times in my life and that was the only time I was ever pulled aside so they could check my bag. As if an 11 year old girl was going to carry a bomb or something on the plane!

15. anyone else buy cereal just for the Apollo 13 slammer?

:)

16. I just checked --

There are still several hundred Pogs in my son's top dresser drawer. Any chance those things will be worth something some day?

[BiggJawn]

17. Pog...Man, now I'm thirsty!

Didn't give a crap about the game, but when I was on the Big Island, I musta drank a gallon of that stuff every day....

[flamingyouth]

18. I live in Seattle and probably DO drink a gallon of it a day!

In fact, I'm enjoying a glass right now. :9 I love that stuff. :9

[BiggJawn]

19. Waaah!

We don't get POG here in the Midwest! :-(

20. Anyone else remember that pog maker toy?

You put in a baseball card or something similar, pushed the thing down, took out the round part that was just cut and stuck it on a blank pog? It was called Milkcap Maker I think.
