Alternately, let us discuss childhood toys and games that were transparent attempts at marketing. I only knew two kids who played with these, for all the pog tie-ins in magazines and shit they had.
damn i used to have abute 100 of those things, and never truly knew what they were, i was probably abute three
Yea I remember pogs. I knew a bunch of people who collected them, but I personally never got involved with them. If I remember correctly you spread out the pogs and hit them with a slammer. However many you get to flip over with the slammer you get to keep. Whoever ends up with the most pogs at the end wins. I think, but again I never really was into them. I was like 12 or 13 when they were popular and it seemed a little too childish for me. Back then I was more into setting fires and blowing stuff up
Hahah good old pogs and slammers, brings back memories. I definatly played that when I was younger. They had the cool pog cases and everything except all it was, was a tube with a lid. eric
We always just got in fist fights/threw the pogs at eachother's in order to decide who got to keep the coolest pogs. 'Cause that's how we roll. Oh, and we were poor, so we used Pringle Chip canisters to store our pogs.
Dude... I remember them things. I had SO many of them 'cause I was just bad-ass at playin. I had a few fuckin NASTY slammers that I knew how to use just right... We played by stacking them up on each other (like 10 or so high - give or take) with them all facing down... You hit the stack with the slammer and see how many you can turn over. The ones you turn over you get to keep. Sometimes we played for slammers (whoever won the game won the opponent's slammer)... I collected them for the pictures... Some were pretty badass
Haha people are gonna laugh at me,...but I don't care. Last weekend I was at a small kegger and after everyone was nice and drunk the persons place I was at found some pogs, we set up and played a couple rounds. It was pretty funny, and fun. But we only ended playin for about 10 minutes before we got distracted/bored. lol
Same here, only it was banned because we might throw them at each other at my school. I remember collecting the "grim reaper" pogs and ren and stimpy.
My buddies younger brother had those things, and I couldn't figure out what they were for, for the life of me. I still don't really know, you just smash 'em together and keep the ones that flip? Heh, beer pog? You get to keep any beer you tip over?
Oh man, I was badass at the POGs... My whole elementary school pretty much stopped playing for keeps because of me and two of my friends...Pussies. Ahhh, grade 3. *tear* Oh and for the record, grade 3 was also about the same time I got into fires and blowing shit up. My pyromaniacal urges started young...
