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

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

Everyone's Favorite Childhood Toy Is Almost Unrecognizable Now

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

13 Things We All Wasted Our Money On As Kids

When you were a kid, there was no better moment than when your parents said you could have a dollar or two to spend on something fun. What did we do?

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

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

Everyone Seemed To Have One Of These, Can You Find Yours On This List?

Did you ever want a pet when you were a kid? Probably right?

Kids Today Probably Wouldn't Survive Our Toys, Especially This One

Lately it seems as though kids are being kept in plastic bubbles to keep them safe. Well, back in the 90s that is not how it went. We were expected to play outside, ride out bikes, and only come home when it was dark out. We also had toys that were WAY different than kids' toys are now. They weren't really focused on keeping kids bruise free, but instead, focused on expending all that pent up energy. A lot of toys from the past wouldn't be made today, maybe because they had such weird commercials, or maybe because they were

Doodle Bears Were The Best Toy And Don't Try To Tell Me Otherwise

Toys in the 90s were a lot different than they are now. Kids these days don't really seem to notice anything that isn't attached to an iPad, but back when we were kids teddy bears and coloring books reigned supreme.

I mean, I know I did (and honestly still do).Such a simple concept too, all they were was a bear that was washable so kids could draw all over their

No 90s Home Was Complete Without These Little Kids

If you had to think of one little knick-knack that would remind you of the 90s, it would absolutely have to be a Precious Moments ceramic figurine right? Those little kids were just about everywhere. Not only were there the ceramic figures that your Grandma would give you for your birthday, you could also get the coloring books, the collections of stories and even toys!  They were pretty cute so I can see how they ended up so popular. They were big-eyed kids who always shared the sweetest sentiments like "I love my grandma" or just a simple "I
