They were trading cards with characters similar to cabbage patch kids. The garbage pail kids each had a disgusting habbit or trait. Something with boogers or equally as nasty. When I was a kid, we loved them.

Garbage Pail Kids (produced by Topps) began as a mid-eighties trading card phenomenon that parodied the Cabbage Patch Kids toy franchise. It drew the ire of many elementary school principals for its off-color humor, as the cards were extremely popular with kids at the time. They are still being produced today.

Contrary to the answers you got before, the Garbage Pail kids were way before Cabbage Patch dolls. They were mostly gross stickers that I and other kids in the late 70's early 80's would stick on our Trapper Keepers( notebooks).
They made a movie about them in the 80's. They usually vomitted, smelled, made a mess, and drove our parents and teachers absoulutely crazy when they saw them.

Garbage pail kids are jacked up cabbage patch kids. They were on trading cards. They had names like Zipper Zack.

As bigtony615 stated, they were like Cabbage Patch kids, and their names were just as gross as there "specialties." For example one might have been named Peter Pimple Popper (or something like that) and the card would show a Cabbage Patch Kid look-a-like with pimples all over his face and pus on his fingers. As gross as this sounds, they were funny.

A demented version of a Cabbage Patch Kid...no, seriously.

I remember those...they had trading cards with all these little kids that were covered with garbage and had appropriate gross names. I believe it was Topps that made the trading cards. We had quite a few when my son was little, but they vanished when we moved to a new location. There's a website for them though...check it out.

That's funny, its been years since I heard that. Lame version of a Cabbage Patch doll. I think they had a cartoon.

They are similar to baseball trading cards, except that each one features some "character" with their name and a gross picture of that charact er...for example, "Welcome Matt" was a card that had a picture of a face in a door mat with footprints on it. These are cartoons, obviously. I had about 200 of these cards in the mid 80s...
