Remember the cabbage patch doll craze?

I remember my grandparents saying they drove all over the place and stood in long lines to get me one.

@buriedalive what was his name? Mine was Quincy Theo 😆

@MyNameIsHurl Quincy theo is a great name. I named mine adam and I remember taking him everywhere. Used to piss my mom off. We would go to kmart and I had to bring adam along and one time i had a meltdown because i forgot him on a shelf and we had to go back for him. Sure enough he was there where i left him

I remember the Troll craze in the 60s. And yeah they were naked

Gibbon · 70-79, M
@buriedalive it was the opposite of the following doll crazes. They were made in incredible numbers. They could be purchased anywhere. The craze was they were all over the place.
The craze was about getting all the different ones. There were good trolls, there were bad trolls.
Eventually knock-offs came out. that put an end to the collecting

@Gibbon that's pretty cool so it was more about collecting them all vs just getting one due to scarcity
Gibbon · 70-79, M
@buriedalive yeah, there was no scarcity at all. Any place you might imagine seling a doll like that had them. Every department store, every drug store, any place to sell toys of any kind.

@beermeplease Not sure how I'd fare in a pit nowadays
@buriedalive well maybe if it was just us gen xers in it 🙃
buriedalive · 51-55, M
@beermeplease Yeah we could handle that. I'm not getting body checked by 20 year olds

We adopted one at the hospital and saw one being born in the cabbage patch. We have the adoption papers and the doll to prove it. Fortunately, we just happened to be in the area and didn't make a special trip.
