Kids of the 80's - Do you remember?

Question

Spirographs
Pogo Ball
Trapper Keepers
Mad Libs
Caboodles
Garbage Pail Kids

Answer 1

That's funny. I actually asked a similar question 2 weeks ago. Mine was about 80's toys and "fashion plates" (My favorite toy from the 80's)
I still love mad libs! My best friend and I try to think of the most disgusting, perverse words we could, and laugh our as*es off at the results!
And I LOVED my trapper keeper! Mine was covered with stickers. I used to have the big puffy stickers, and the ones that smelled like different things. My favorite was the one that smelled like a cupcake.

Take a trip down memory lane! : )

Answer 2

I still have my Garbage Pail Kids. My favorite was Acne Amy. I have some Trapper Keepers, threw out the Spirograph, and the Pogo Ball broke. I don't know what Caboodles are, and I used to hate when people would say, "I need a noun. You give me a verb. I need an adjective." Mad Libs...bad times.

Answer 3

Yup I remember them all. I had a bunch of the garbage pail kids cards. I never had a Pogo Ball, but I had a pogo stick, and went to the roller rink where we wore real roller skates :)
How about the Get Along Gang? or the The Wuzzles?

Answer 4

All of them. I wasn't allowed to look at Garbage Pail Kids, though. 80's were the best years EVER!

Answer 5

Yes, No, Yes, Unsure, No, Yes...

:)

I don't know if every generation looks back to a certain decade and thinks fondly of it, but I have to admit, I look back at the 80's and remember a lot of very fond memories. While there definitely were some scary things about the eighties (big hair for one lol).. It just seems to have been a fascinating time with so many things to remember. (Remember when Michael Jackson was almost 'normal'? Remember when you could get a little bag of candy for like 25 cents? Remember.. oh there's just so many things!!)

Now I'm all nostalgic and wanting to time travel back and have some fun.. :) heh.

Answer 6

Well,I HAD kids in the eighties,does that count? I remember that and more....seeing as how I was buying it for them....and I think there might still be some of it floating around! I found a wacky wall walker the other day. That is a mushy spider/octopus looking thing you throw against a wall and it sticks and slowly rolls down the wall. Funny stuff! Great question!

Answer 7

i would play with the spirographs for hours..

i was so into mad libs id make my own

the pogo ball was hard for me..i never got the concept

i had like 5 caboodles and me and my sister and neighbor would sit and trade make up for hours..

thanks for reminding me of this stuff..takes me way back to being like 5 years old.

Answer 8

Yes!
I loved Pogo Balls I used to use my skipping rope with them(and do you remember the generic brand GoGo Ball..?)
???? Not sure I remember that one...
Yep
My brother was obsessed with Caboodles
Garbage pail?? No I remember Cabbage patch kids rocked! Except mine was a boy.. I wanted one with long hair and a pretty dress, instead mine had short hair and overalls.. :-(
