Throwback to when everyone in school was flippin' POGs. I had a metal slammer that was the envy of my friends. Did you guys collect them too? What was your favorite slammer or POG?

Totally had a stash of POGs! My fave slammer was this cool holographic one, kinda looked like a mini UFO. Lost it in a high-stakes game to a kid named Joey. Lost my best POGs that day... F.

POGs? More like YAWN. It was all about Magic: The Gathering, dude. Those little cardboard circles were the lamest fad ever.

Anyone remember the Alf POGs? 'Remember Alf? He's back... in POG form!' Classic. I swear I never actually played the game right, just traded POGs like they were currency. Also, remember the weird ones that were like, super thick? Those were so not regulation.

Yes!! POGs were life. My fav slammer was this rare one I got from a cereal box, it was transparent blue with a skull in the middle. Talk about childhood treasures, I could flip an entire stack in one go with that slammer. Also I had this one POG with a holographic dragon that was my go-to for starting a game. So many memories, used to play for keeps and my collection was epic until my mom threw them out because I was 'too old for that' - devastating, still not over it.

Man, POGs take me back. I wasn't the king of the playground or anything, but I remember how intense those games got. Everyone crowding around during recess to see the next slam down. Simpler times, man, simpler times.

I'm a bit younger so I missed the POG craze, but they sound super cool. Makes me wish I could travel back and experience it. Any pics of these slammers and POGs? Would love to see what the hype was about!

Metal slammers were the elite tier of POG life. I had this epic one, heavier than the rest, and no one dared to challenge me when I brought it out. It had this rad flame design, and boy, did it slam. They don't make 'em like they used to. Good times, good times.
POGs were THE bomb, seriously! I had a sweet collection, but my pride and joy was this 8-Ball slammer, it was like, super heavy and I was the king of the playground with that bad boy. I had all the other kids jealous, haha. Man, those were the days. No one could beat me when I whipped that slammer out. Still got it in a box somewhere, I think...
