  • You remember POGS. The small, round, cartoon-adorned collectibles that started out as milk bottle caps. In 1991, an elementary school teacher in Hawaii introduced them to her students, thinking it would improve their math skills. As the game grew in popularity, businessman Alan Rypinski purchased the trademark and founded the World Pog Federation, kicking off the '90s phenomenon.

    Using the slammer wrong...or maybe we use to use it wrong. We use to actually slam it on the pog stack; meaning it had to leave your hand.

    I played this game growing up, the slammer pog had to be slightly slammed down at the edge of the pigs from maybe an inch or two away from the pog stack, the simple rules were good and yus whatever flipped over you kept and the one with most pogs won. I remember trading them all over school and we all played at home and school as well, I miss those days!

      We used to call them tazos in India too. Never played the game, we used to just collect them. They also used to come with notches in the sides so you could fit two together to sort of slingshot one across the room.

      Fun fact, in Russia we called paper pogs "taso" or "fishka" and we played without slammers. We just took a stack between index finger and thumb and threw on flat surface. Rest of the rules were same.
