It's weird that so many 90's kids have never heard of Pogs, amirite?

Pretty sure it was only popular in the US, Canada, and surrounding islands. We didn't have them in Australia. We had something similar that came in chip packets, but they weren't called POGS.

We had them in England too.

Maybe Australia is just so disconnected to the rest of the world that we didn't have them. Lol. Or maybe I just don't know about them...

Yes, we had pogs in Australia... I was born in 1988 so remember most of the 90s and pogs were defiantly a popular craze.

Were they the things that came in chip packets and you could attach a part to make the disk like a spin top?! I have no recollection.

Err... I think they're different. We had Tazos (exact same thing different name) in Chip packets that you could play the game with, but we could also buy POGs in like news agency's and game shops.

Tazos are exactly what i was thinking about. Still can't remember pogs though! Maybe I just wasn't cool enough.

Omgsh that was the greatest game ever. My brother and our friends would play it all the time. I ended up having up to four hundred different pieces.

I don't even really consider myself a 90s kid because I wasn't in school and stuff yet (born in 92) but I know what they are

Everybody voting down my post is probably my age or younger and desperately wants to be a 90s kid. Guess what, you're not. To be a 90s kid you have to be really interested in the music and clothes and fads and such of the 90s, if the new millennium hit when you were 8 (or younger) then you really weren't into the fads of the 90s. Being born in the 90s =/= being a 90s kid.

Man I loved pogs. Me and my brother had fuck loads. I remember kicking an older kid in the nuts after a game of pogs and him annoying me.
