you dont remember Popples. They were Stuffed animals that turned inside out. I think they even had a cartoon!
Nope. doesn't ring a bell...but then again, I was probably too busy playing Atari to bother with stuffed animals!

ETA: I was VERY uncool in the 80's so maybe I just missed out...

ATARI was AWESOME!!!!! We still have ours in the attic, with all the games. i swear the simpleness of it is better than the high tech xbox or playstation of today!
POPPLES are those stuffed animals that folded into each other!!
Pound Puppies were awesome--i still have a VHS tape of them!!

Anyone else remember that show “Kid Video”? It was a bunch of live action kids who get stuck in this “Video” world…and at the end they’d always show a music video…

GloWorm isnt mentioned either.
I don't remember popples.. but I remember GloWorm and it's hard head. You did NOT want to start a fight with that thing.
Atari 2600. Indiana Jones Temple of Doom You can now buy the Atari game stick that has 25 games in it. Just hook it up to your TV. hehe
I did wait 2 and half hours outside in line to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but I must have been in middle school I think.
I remember sleep overs were Menudo was 'the' thing to listen too.
AquaNet is actually still around haahahaha
Never played Oregon Trail. Must have been trying to figure out my Comadore 64 computer game 'Spy vs Spy'
