good toys don't go away for good, they just keep resurrecting for each generation. I played this 30 years ago back in Taiwan. Obviously it was not called Pogs, but it's the same thing.

Edited for stupidity. I typed 20 years whne it should have been 30...I guess denial is getting to me.

I used two heavy washers with white electrical tape to hold them together. The tape made it round so it was able to filp more pogs. I owned.

pogs fell out of favor about 2 weeks after it got big due to the fact that you could just buy a billion more pogs for 5$

I have a tin of them somewhere. When I want to humiliate my kids I take out the tin and ask loudly, isn't this yours?

Ah, it's fun to have teens.
