If you’re a 90s baby, you remember them as the awesome game which everyone was obsessed by throughout grade school . Thin, cardboard circles known as ” Pogs ” were stacked and hit with heavier, thicker plastic or metal “slammers” used to try and flip them over. Pogs landing face up would then be collected by the slam artist and sometimes not returned if the game was “for keeps.” A kid’s Pog collection was often filled with images, characters and titles from his or her favorite television show, movie, or comic book. The cooler Pogs were often laminated, engraved, or sometimes holographic. Slammers could also be embellished using metal, spiked edges or even insects suspended within them. The possibilities were endless. Pogs originated from a juice made from Passionfruit, Orange and Guava. The idea didn’t come from a huge business trying to sell children some new product — kids invented it all by themselves. Although the Pogs phase fizzled out with the 90s, we love to look back in nostalgia at what we used to be so passionate about as children. Here are 30 pictures of awesome Pogs from the past.
