大切な物を protect my balls


Serious question, anyone else here in their 30s and had a go at the hit game called Pogs?

The game was super popular for like 6 months until schools everywhere started banning the gently caress out of it.

Then kids stopped playing and Pogs vanished into the hell that was the 90s.

Check out this sweet rear end commercial.

Now check out 2 idiots playing a game of Pogs in 2016.

Pogs were awesome and I have to believe they propped up failing brands for that 6 months for offering free pogs inside their products because all us little motherfuckers would make our parents buy cereal and juice and poo poo with em

remember when your parents took you to KB Toys or whatever and you wanted some sick pogs that were like 6 cents each but your parents guided you over to the galvanized feed trough full of 1 cent pogs :(

I was pretty jealous of the kid who had shredder pogs. I think I was about 23 at the time.

It was banned at my school for causing fights.

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
My friend hunted down a huge, but still legal, slammer that he used to savage us all and take our pogs.

That was back when the world didn't coddle you and kiss your booboos. :corsair:

I played pogs. They were sweet.

I had a poison slammer and sweet foil pogs with skulls, eightballs, Ying yang and other cool stuff.

We should bring them back like those really cool people in ops video.

It's likely where my gambling addiction started. Owning noobs and taking all their precious pogs was the highlight of 7th grade

I had pogs but was unaware there was a game associated with them so I got bored and moved on to Pokémon.

Their entire popularity was apparently based on playing them at school. Sense the fad dried up almost as soon as schools everywhere started banning pogs.
