Very interesting! Thank you :)

Glad you enjoyed the video!

I remember the Cabbage Patch phase. You couldn't help but come across them as everyone had them. Much like Elmo who took over the toy world forever banning smurfs.

[@Dylshelby13]

Black Friday had nothing on the Cabbage Patch Kids riots lol

[@stacichurchill3352]

I loved my cabbage patch dolls!!

[@Dylshelby13]

I never owned one personally but I see the appeal haha

[@Dylshelby13]

Awe. Thank you so much! It’s definitely a lot of hard work but it’s slowly starting to pay off 💕

[@eldesgraciado6690]

Very interesting video, dude.
My favorites were Adam Bomb and Valerie Vomit.

I remember there even used to be a dance move called The Cabbage Patch.

[@Dylshelby13]

Yes! I forgot about how popular that dance was! Named after the dolls, too. Should’ve included that in the video haha

I was 12 in 1982. I never understood the draw of cabbage patch kids then or now.

[@Dylshelby13]

You and my mom are the same age and she agrees. She didn’t understand the appeal but she was really into Garbage Pail Kids cards lol

[@johnb4605]

Are you a real life cabbage patch weirdo?

[@Dylshelby13]

No. Just a history buff when it comes to vintage toys and games hahaha

[@breathewithinyoga]

Are you Canadian?

[@Dylshelby13]

No. I’m American

[@raymondgrantham6851]

Lol you should look up the orphan trains and cabbage baby's of the world Fair.

[@Dylshelby13]

How did this not come up in my research? There’s no way the orphan trains were not an inspiration for the naming of Cabbage Patch Kids lol.
