[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

You shut your pretty whore mouth!!!

POG's were, and always be, awesome!

At least they were cheap enough that every kid could feel like a pogillianaire.

I had so many from just eating chips as a kid in Mexico. They still make em, my ex brought me a couple dragon ball super ones from when she went on vacation to Mexico to cheat on me.

Got rid of a bad relationship and got some pogs. Sounds pretty adequate to me.

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

It was a fair trade in hindsight lul. Got me a lovely fiancee now and I'm much happier.

NFTs are digital POGs with no slammer to gamble them with. That’s way, way more stupid.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Pog NFTs exist! Issued by the actual company. Glorious.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Well... I'm old so I didn't get into it.

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I still don’t even know where they came from or why they existed but I did have a big tube of them and a nice brass slammer. Clearly I needed to fit in with my older brothers and that’s basically all I know about them.

They came from Hawaii, milk bottles or containers of some kind had the cardboard circle under the cap, and kid's made up this game with them at the breakfast table

Interesting. I was speaking more to my personal collection than anything else—Guess it’s time to go down the rabbit hole of Pog history haha. Surprised they haven’t resurfaced as an app (unless they have, I haven’t checked).

Don’t kids still play them?
