"The best craze!"

This is for your favourite crazes.

Mine was those rubber balls with the attached rubber string. They got banned because people were using them as weppons

Pogs. Awesome. Making your own pogs was great. I wish i had one so i could make pog designs of computer games, sonic, porn, page 3 girls and anything that i could capture in the disc.


I did have the looney toons tazos but i never got the entire collection. I've got all the star wars triology tazos though. The amount of bargaining i had to do to get them all.

There was the cubes as well of the looney toons 2000 edition. All but one there.

Rugrats skips hexagonal tazos which you could make footballs out of. I believe to celebrate france 98 which...france won with some degree of skill and luck.

GoGos. Bouncing bone heads was another name. They were great. It was like pokomon. Only less crap.

Collecting football stickers. Every.Single.Year.I.Saw.people.trading. them. I did have the sonic the hedgehog sticker album which rocked. When i collected them all. Someone in the household promotly binned it. I'm not entirely sure who. I might have given conscent to it...

I think I may have got some Slammers free with a comic or something, and they disappeared somewhere not long after! I think that when Toy Story came out, they did something similar, sort of hologram discs or something.

My Tazos are still somewhere in the house, where I'm not sure (As with the Pokemon cards, and a load of other old junk), though my brother has decided to blu-tac some of them onto his bedroom wall, many years later...

Yeah i had tonns of the things, and i didnt like to have any the same. Also had som pretty cool slammers too. They were out round about the time i lived in germany. They were a big thing over there. To be honest i still have them. Somewhere...

I've got an album filled with Pokemon cards somewhere; not sure exactly where, but some of them are Japanese. It wasn't that long before I lost interest though, amusing while it lasted.

I can remember Pogs being a big thing, and not long after that, the free "Tazo" things you got with Walkers crisps, this would have been like 1995/6? I had an awful lot of Tazos, as you'd expect for someone who eats a lot of crisps...

i used to love pokemon cards, me and my brothers collected them all the time. We used to run round the local shop every saturday to buy them!!

You guys suck! Me and my cousin were obsessed with the cards. I ot the rarest card, Charizard, twice in one packet in America, and my cousin never got one. Oh the joy!

Pokemon Cards are legendary, no child craze has ever matched up to them. When I get some money i'll buy some sets off eBay, they're about £45 each.

Oh I'm an exception I hated them, I used to get free ones in my nans paper and my kids magazines and sell them =)

You scumbag!

I hated Pokemon Cards!

The rubber balls on strings were Water Yoyo's. They got banned because people died of strangulation.

My favourite craze, I was obsessed, everyone was obsessed, the biggest child phenomenon ever.. Pokemon Cards!

Still got an entire set of them, in a folder, so I can look a back on them when i'm older :D
