remember this dumb poo poo from the late 90s/early 2000s?






i remember telling my parents i NEEDED these cause all my friends had them. same with pokemon cards, tho those ended up being less of a fad. digimon and yugioh cards too which i basically havent seen since the 2000s also. the beans and bones seemed like it was really capitalizing on the TCG thing of artificial scarcity linked to some tradable/collectable item, ostensibly used in a game. i dont remember poo poo about the games that you were supposed to play with them lol. it was like marbles maybe? i guess mighty beans and crazy bones were more akin to pogs in that way but way lamer

my coworker brought up crazy bones cause i guess she found her "collection" when cleaning out her parents attic last weekend and asked if i thought they were worth anything lol. thought of mighty beans and all the other dumb fad poo poo from that era
