The things you remember doing when you were young?

Does anyone here remember collecting pogs?

Those disk-shaped decorated round toys? I remember those from my school year 8-9 and other student had tubes to carry their collection. That was in the mid 90's.

I remember playing pogs in the school yard. I had a silver looking slammer with a skeleton head. Good old days ♡

I remember everyone carrying spring jam boxes on their shoulders.

I remember playing pogs. Everytime we use to challenge each other for their pogs. The cheaters use to put it on a uneven concrete. So when you hit the pogs on the side, it will turn over easily.

I remember also, pogs use to be in walkers crisp. So I tried to squash the crisp trying to find any pogs

I remember being athletic, agile, able to go all night and never getting tired while not having gray hair and wrinkles on an overall layer of pudge.

I lived near a water treatment plant and we (literally all the kids in the neighborhood) used to sneak in and walk around in one of the ponds. It was covered in a thick white foam.

I also played a LOT of Snood.

I use to make mazes out of my jenga set(but it was the plastic uno brand) and I'd catch stink bugs and put them in it.

I remember my parents 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath house, 1700 square ft, had a tiny library room with a wall of book shelves and upon the bookshelves were an encyclopedia set and a complete set of Detroit Diesel service manuals for Series 53, 71, and 92 engines. There was room for one chair and one old 13" B&W TV in that room. The TV stayed off and I spent hours in there reading either the encyclopedias, which were already obsolete, or the service manuals. Dad was a nut buster.

Yes! I almost asked the SAME thing!

That post reminded me of my neighborhood group in the mid 80s. We would crawl through empty waiter drainage tunnels all over our town. There would be the odd pentagram or graffiti down there and so many of the kids were sure it was the work of Satanic killers. It was during the 80s "Satanic panic". If it wasn't that, they were fretting about paranormal activity. I thought I was cool because I wasn't concerned about Satanists or ghosts and now I realize for a chubby 9 yr old girl with a spiral perm, I really was kind of cool.

Yes! And a strange rash, but back to the super powers..

When we were about 11 and 12 my brother and I decided to give my barbie dolls and his wrestling (whatever you call them...basically dolls) "plastic surgery" and "tattoos". We drew tattoos on them, and carved up their bodies.

I was a city kid but went to the country in the summer. Friends and I were crossing a shallow creek when I was shocked by the electric fence and it gave me a pretty bad jolt. Later that day I started crying in the supermarket because I thought I would die by nightfall...thanks to my friend's sister repeatedly saying "OMG you were electrocuted" LOL

I still have an original Atari. It's pretty glitchy and most of my games don't work anymore, but fun to pull out when I'm feeling nostalgic.

hitchhiking everywhere, my cousins first reel-to-reel tape player with Chuck Berry's "My Ding-a-ling" on it, my (then) girlfriends father got a "Pong" game and we played it on their console TV.

I discovered that a store of some kind had a room in the back where big boys raced slot cars. I'd go with my brother and his buddy to that place and watch the slot car races. Good times.

Playing with fire. I started a campfire with a box of matches on the kitchen linoleum floor.
I think Dad was more pissed at the wasted matches.
Not so good times.

Wow, I had one. Is that the one with a joystick and one red button?

Yup
And we had a PC Junior

Wow, did you also have a parent who worked for IBM? We had a pc jr, because ibm practically gave them away to employees after they bombed.

After a heavy rain I'd go out and collect frogs and put them in a paper grocery bag...I don't know why I did that...weird
