Pogs
What are Pogs, exactly? Pogs stories were circulating on the internet, claiming that the cardboard disks were being sold on eBay. Hundreds, if not thousands, of game pieces were being exchanged.
Pogs was a popular video game during the 1990s. On beverage lids, the small round disks were placed. The acronym comes from a Hawaiian brand of juice called Passion Orange Guava. The craze erupted into a full-fledged phenomenon. Millions of beverage bottles held Pogs, which the kids collected. Despite the fact that Pogs were all the rage, collectors who hold on to them are hoarding a mountain of garbage. They cost around 20 cents each.
Cassette Tapes
Listening to music was revolutionized when cassette tapes replaced the old 8-track tapes, which were larger tapes that only played eight songs. A complete album could be stored on a single cassette tape, and the sound quality would be greatly improved.
Playing the cassettes over and over wasn’t a problem at all, and the cassettes even flipped to the other side on their own. It was soon apparent, however. If you make one mistake, your brand-new U2 album will be a twisted tape mess. Trash. So, what’s their current market value? They don’t believe that. For less than five dollars, you can get a whole box of cassette tapes.
