Pogs: The Complete History

Born in 1990 I wish I still had my pogs but I think my parents trashed them. Still have N64, Genesis and NES stored though.

Still got my limited edition striker.

90’s best time to be a little kid

Pogs were hella fun. Never saw anything too graphic on them.

My friends and I always traded willingly, but never for keeps.

Pogs pop up here and there, I remember one time when I used to work for 7-11 I opened up a box of random stuff to put out on the shelves, one of those things was a box of MARVEL Pogs (four years prior to the first Iron man movie), I bought about 5 booster packs that day. Still have all my POGS from my childhood to this day.

I remember having lots of those when I was a kid and the most sought-after slammer on the playground, The funny thing is, I can't remember where I got them from or what I did when the fad passed. Maybe they are still around in a box, maybe I've given them away, maybe someone's thrown them away. But the bigger mystery still is: Where did I get all these from?

Anyone know the name of the instrumental music?

I'll never forget the tear-stained faces of the two girls who played POGs for keeps, got into a slap-fight, and then caused the principal to ban POGs at our elementary. They ruined it for everyone.

Also, I loved it when a milf emerged sensuously from a pile of POGs. Happened all the time.

I still have a small tube of power rangers pogs. I randomly found them too just cleaning my room LOL

I only played them for one year in 97 when I was 13.

i remember the glow in the dark edition 🥰😍

I have two big boxes of pogs somewhere

For the dumb f***s who think NFTs are the future market, please rewatch this

parents n teachers probably regret crying about pogs

Poison, 8 ball, POG and No Fear were the most badass you could get. But there was probably millions of different POGS back then that weren't even official because the slopes in China were bootlegging them like crazy. Good times simpler times.

still have some pogs and slammers waahahahaha

Fuck man I miss those days holy shit man. Good times good times.

BRING BACK TAMAGOTCHI!

Looking for that Punisher, Flash, Rugrats [TRex] , Hey Arnold, Doug, Ren & Stimpy, and the all but inevitable Where's Bobby's world 🌎

Whats kind of crazy is i had that saw tooth slammer! AND, my neighbors bro had a bunch of those bobby's world POG's, and a funny story, is my friend jasons brother travis, was clever and a few years older, and had written his initials on his pogs, and put a tiny glob of white out overr the initials. me and jason were playing in his house, and i found his bro's Bobby world pogs and took some. fast forward a day or so, his bro asked me if i wanted to play pogs, so i brought my stash, tried playing off that they were mine and i didnt take them, and he scratches off thee white out and embarrassed me lol.. i think i just gave them back and took my ball and went home, but dont quite remember.

idk for the other countries, but actually you can find pogs in france in a lot of stores, like tabocco-shop or kid's games stores, but it's like really expensive for what it is
it's juste a revival nostalgia thing for the people who grew up during the 90's
(nice channel btw, i'll look at your other videos (: )

I was thinking about this the other day it was All the Rage in 1994 and 1995 I live in California and since it was created in Hawaii it got to us first. We used to have Pog tournaments in Long Beach California. Even showed up in our local news of the kid that has one. Me and my cousins were really good at the game we would use Snapple Captain Crush them to make Slammers. And we played the game by flipping over a mortar pot😂 it came and went real fast but I honestly wish they would bring it back. Especially with this newer generation they love a lot of the things that we grew up with. Damn near obsessed I think it would be cool for them to bring it back. I just missed the pre-internet days although I love the internet don't give me wrong. But I think we should balance things too. The kid who played video games then went outside to play basketball, then play pogs and then I will write my books. Everything that we did involved critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I would love to show my daughter and the other little kids in my family how to play the game

The 90’s were awesome

POGs have made their start thousands of years ago???? Japanese Menko is around 400 years old maximum.

I find myself often still examining heavy discs I come across as a potential slammer- like designed coins for card games

"modern milk caps"

... I'm sure you meant contemporary. Does anyone here know what a milk cap is?

open the flood gates on the most valuable pogs heavy metals precious stones etcs

im bringing back pogs but stronger

Dude I totally forgot about these until recently. This was the best thing ever

I had street fighter Pogs
Sure they were knock offs

So, my Latin American brethens... shall we tell him or not?

We don’t return the pogs to our opponents…we keep them 😂

Now I’m going to spend the rest of the night looking for my pogs

Old memories unlocked

We need Pogs in our life again 😢

Why is this channel not blowing up yet?

Pogs making a comeback rn in hawaii

i still have a good portion of my Pog collection. I did lose most my slammers though. but happy to have what i still have

In my jr high iy got banned because school started looking like a casino

poggers

1993 - 1995 aye?...

Assuming those who are viewing this must be Millennials.

I remember when this took off where I lived. Was made fun of for not having pogs, but I refused to buy in because it was so stupid. Spent my money on video games, and I remember not a lot of time passing before the fad died down, and you saw pogs all over the playground like the garbage it was. Don't remember it being banned, I just remember it dying down and some kids feeling bad that they had wasted so much money

Yep, all my Pogs n Slammers got confiscated at school and my mom would not get off her dead ass to go and get them back.

What a time to be young and innocent. Still have my tin of pogs, cherish those days.

Man like every 20 seconds I catch a pog or two I still own. So wild seeing this. I think I may have one of the caps from that drink. I recognized the red Hawaii one. The one that is a much softer consistency of cardboard Tham the fancy glossy ones

ALF'S back in PoG form

If pogs could be manufactured in such a way that they are difficult to forge, then they could be a collectible.

Most people don't know that Steve Allen was actually the inventor of the pog.

Hope this channel blows up soon. Good work.
