20 Of The Weirdest And Grossest Garbage Pail Kids We All Loved For Some Unknown Reason

By Tanya
We all know and love Cabbage Patch Kids right? They are cute, cuddly and adorable. Then there are the Garbage Pail Kids. They are not cute, not cuddly, and adorable but probably almost as popular. These horrifyingly bizarre creations were made as sort of the parody of the Cabbage Patch Kids. They were specifically designed to be as disgusting and offensive as possible (in contrast to their inspiration) which was 100% their appeal. This was of course before the Cabbage Patch Dolls became terrifying enough on their own.Parents hated them, schools despised them, but kids were obsessed. In 1987

Can You Name This Classic Toy From Your Childhood?

By Tanya
The happiest robot around town was the dream toy for a lot of kids back in the day. He was pretty much on all of our Christmas lists. He actually still gets made now which is crazy impressive! Not a lot of toys get to continue on through the generations, but this little buddy absolutely has. Can you name it? It became popular in the 80s with its interchangeable cards that would let you use the buttons on the side to interact with the questions it would ask you. It helped kids learn math, spelling, matching, and music! Do you

By Tanya
There are some toys that just last through generations and this is absolutely one of them. We had one, our parents had one, even some of our grandparents had one of these growing up. They helped us revisit our favorite stories and discover new ones. Each click of a button brought us a step closer to the worlds we loved and it's impossible forget them. Do you remember these? Of course you remember the View-Master, we all had one! These first came on the scene way back in 1939. It was made by a former pharmacist named Edwin Mayer who

10 Search Engines From The 90s That Make Us Grateful For Google

By Tanya
Before Google became the ruler of the internet, the competition for top search engine was pretty fierce. It seemed like there was an endless array of options, all attempting to be better than the next. There were many with a gimmick, a lot of really bad ones, and even a few that are still around today! Do you remember a time before Google? If so, you probably used one of these. 1. DogpileBecause back then it was important to have an "Ebay Auctions" button on the side for easy access. Also instead of "search" you would click "fetch", which always

The Crazy 90s Recall That Made Us All A Little Afraid Of Our Dolls

By Tanya
There seems to be a lot of recalls of products because your kid might choke on a piece, but there are very few done because the toy may choke on you. There was a Cabbage Patch doll in the 90s that actually had to be recalled because it was chewing on children. It actually was pretty serious because it would actually rip out their hair and swallow it down! The Snacktime Kid Cabbage Patch Doll looked like most other Cabbage Patch Kids but it had one very huge difference. The doll had a motorized mouth that you could feed in

There are some things that everyone had even though we honestly do not know why. Here are 13 of the most bizarre and useless things we all

9 Of The Most Stressful Games You Used To Play As A Kid

By Tanya
There are a lot of board games in the universe, some good and some bad. The thing is, some are good in a way but if you think about it they are kind of bizarre. A lot of the games we used to play as kids were just the most stressful things imaginable. There were ticking times, beeping buzzers and exploding brains, all in the name of fun. How many of these games do you remember? How did they not just give us all tiny little heart attacks? Some of these stress me out just to think about them... 1.

Can You Explain To Me How Or Why These Got So Popular?

By Tanya
Some toys from the 90s are obviously perfect and deserve all the obsessions they started and praise that they got, looking at you Barbie Jeep, while others were perhaps a little less desirable. There were some fads that spread like wildfire even though when you really look back on them, you have no idea why. Moon Shoes were perhaps one of the biggest toys around and I am not sure I understand why. I understand that they were "gravity defying" shoes, but did they really send you up all that high? From the commercial and all the pictures, they look

Here's Why No Toy Could Inspire More Jealousy Than A Barbie Power Wheels Jeep

By Tanya
There is no better feeling than getting onto the open road and feeling the wind in your hair. Some of us had to settle for running or biking, but there were a select few who got to experience the true glory that was the Power Wheels Barbie Jeep and they are some of the luckiest people in the world. As someone who did not have one, it's hard to truly know just how amazing they were. The kids who were the "chosen ones" got to be the first of their friends to learn how to drive, they got their own
