All the things we forgot that we remember.

Nostalgia is often triggered by something reminding you of a happier time. Whether it's an old commercial or a book from your past, it belongs in /r/nostalgia. Here we can take pleasure in reminiscing about the good ol' days... times we shared with loved ones, both humorous and sad. So grab your Pogs, Surge cans and Thriller cassettes, and we'll see you in /r/nostalgia!

If I had any idea where they were stashed away, I'd be all over that. I could use a soul.

The one pig of Alf shaving just looks like he has rabbies and is foaming at the mouth.

ahh pogs. I didn't get it then, and I don't get it now. My friends little brothers always went on about how awesome these were.

Yup. I had a shit ton of them for some reason. No idea who got them for me, why I had them, or what anyone ever expected me to do with them, but I had them alright.

Maybe he found his pogs hidden in a box but didn't take a picture of them, and later on he remembered he found them and wanted to share them here so he used a stock picture?

/optimism

Once at a drug store my little 9 year old brother grabbed a pack of rainbow condoms and took them to the counter. He approached the lady at the register and said, "Excuse me, how much are these slammers?" The look on that lady's face was fuckn gold.

No you didn't. I saw that picture like three weeks ago.

[–]Slab95 7 points8 points ago

Or he figured it would be easier to use a picture on the internet than take a picture of them himself.

[–]buyobuyo 1 point2 points ago

Came here to say this. I used this picture for a project a couple years ago. I think I found it by googling "pogs" but yeah he could have just been too lazy to take his own pic.

[–]MundaneHymn 2 points3 points ago

Where's your slammer? (I had a metal one with ninja turtles on it and a thick plastic one with the Undertaker on it)

[–]VGChampion 0 points1 point ago

I had one of the space shuttle slammers. Loved that little guy. My brother and I actually bought a Pog "board game" when we were little. Came with a bunch of pogs and an actual board. So luckily we put most of them there when we put them away forever. I dug it out three or four years ago and realized we were missing so many. :(

man those things were the best! then pokemon cards hit and everyone in my school stopped bringing pogs to play with ):

Maybe if you took a picture of your actual pogs, I WOULDN'T FUCKING HATE THAT YOU JUST SHIT ON MY CHILDHOOD! WIKI PIKKI COCK ASS! JUST FOUND THESE?! MY DICK!

Yeeea pogs! In Hawaii we had pogs from actual P.O.G. (Passion.Orange.Guava.) most amazing drink ever conceived

The sad thing is the second I read the title I knew it was pogs... Maybe reddit is starting to repeat itself.

[–]Thick-McRunFast 0 points1 point ago

Starting? POGs will be back on this sub in the next week or two. We're also about due for another road map carpet post and some tv show from 2009 - you know, "back in the day".

I have 2 OJ Simpson Trial slammers and a shit ton of pogs in a chest in the attic.

Damn. I tried to find my box of pogs last year, to no avail.

[–]w045 0 points1 point ago

I got the entire set of official Simpson's pogs.

If only I could have back my pogs :(

How do you play with pogs? D: I never had em, and my cousins wouldn't tell me.

[–]GentleObsession 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

First you gotta set it up:

  1. Everyone throws in 'X' amount of Pogs.

  2. You stack all of the thrown in Pogs facedown.

  3. You play rock, paper, scissors to determine who goes first

Then the game begins:

You take one of your slammers and throw it at the top of the pile. Whichever Pogs flip over are yours to keep. Then you stack the remaining Pogs that did not flip over and it's the next persons turn.

It was wildly popular in my neighbourhood and we had a lot of fun with it. It's a shame you never got to enjoy it.

Wow, that sounds like more fun that I thought D: I thought you laid them all out face-down. Knocking over stacks is fun.

[–]GentleObsession 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, we had fun with it. It was winning other people's Pogs that made it exciting I guess.

According to my local card shop owner in 1992 you're now rich!

I took mine to school and got them confiscated, I forgot about them and never saw them again. You've just bought the pain back.

[–]knudow 0 points1 point ago

They were called "tazos" in spain. I have a lot of them, with Dragon Ball and Looney Tunes pictures, and some flying ones.

Man, I still don't know how the hell you played Pogs.

I was the asshole who used the cheater pog all the time I had 6 tubes full then the schools started banning them and I got caught with my pogs and the teacher took them all away never seen them again :( Then yo-yos became the new thing and then something else and so on lol..... I wish things could be as awesome as they were when we were kids

Even as a kid overseas in continental Europe I had pogs, lol.
