[the master jedi]

this thread is to talk about how much you hate those promo pogs.

[12inch Lando]

Boy do I hate pogs! Let me tell you about the time when those Taco Bell pogs ****ed me off so much I took my chain saw and a baseball bat and...

[evenflow]

I don't think they were anything special, but i also don't think they were "that" bad. Hate is a strong word, I just didn't like them.

[master jedi]

Hate. Dis-like.
Whatever. It's all good.

hey don't knock those pogs. I had many a free meal during the summer of 99' courtesy of them pogs.

[GNT]

Tazo's where better and started the whole thing plus the later Tazo's could be joined to form Star Wars vehicles!

[JimJamBonds]

I never got the pog thing either... but I will say Steve Allen would make the ultimate pog!!!

[2-1B]

I don't collect the pogs but...

[Kidhuman]

Damn this should have been dug up long ago, I know FF1138 still has his ALF pogs.

[JimJamBonds]

Didn't KFC give out E I pogs w/ the purchase of combo meals??? (or was it T Bell?)

[2-1B]

pog = piece of garbage

[Kidhuman]

There is that agreeing thing again, who made the kool-aid?

[2-1B]

Yes, they both did as well as Pizza Slut. They were inserted in the soft drink cup lids.

The Camel and I "borrowed" an entire sleeve of lids from KFC to complete a set. :)

[Kidhuman]

Stealing lids like movies.

[JimJamBonds]

Yes it was Pizza the Hutt! I think my roommate Aaron gave me a couple from there.

[2-1B]

Ahhhhh yes, the same bloke who wore a Worf mask to the premiere of Episode I in Green Bay as an obvious joke only to be ridiculed by hyper active nerds who felt the need to point out that we weren't at a Star Trek movie.

No wonder Triumph makes fun of our kind. lol

That was one of the funniest things I have had the privilege to see in person.

[El Chuxter]

I'm not meaning to needlessly dig this up (really, I'm not), but I saw a Google Bot looking at it just now, and it made me wonder: do they even make pogs anymore? Did they ever catch on at all?

[Engineernerd]

I think Milhouse talking about pogs on The Simpsons was the kiss of death.

Now we have Marbs. Keep up with the times. (I don't see them lasting either.)

[2-1B]

Despite my mocking of the pogs as pieces of garbage 3 + years ago in this thread, I must say that I do own some. I got a few packs back in the mid-90s and even put them into collector pages, so they are a part of my card collection to this day. I even found a 2-1B pog in there when I last looked!

I still have a handful of the TPM KFC/PH/TBell "pogs" and one or two promo pogs from (I think) Doritos, probably in 1997 when the SEs were being released.

To answer your question Chux, I think they're dead. :dead:

[Engineernerd]

Now some special SSG pogs would be a real collectors item.

(Part of me, is scared to say that even in jest.)

[pbarnard]

They're not dead, till they're warm and dead, burried, and a few people have peed on their grave followed by dancing.

I'm guessing you don't get invited to a lot of wakes.

Since I stopped "working" as an altar boy 15+ years ago, nope. $5 for 2 hours, food, and getting out of Catholic School math class...so priceless.
