  • Summary

  • POGS were the small, collectable discs that gave most millennials their first experience of gambling. Those who collected POGS contributed to the nationwide ban, which stopped kids from playing the slamming and flipping game whilst at school. Millions of children across the globe traded POGS with their friends and won them in battles. TAZOS were the alternatives that were given out in packs of potato chips, and both were covered in colourful graphics and pop culture images. In this episode, find out where POGS and TAZOS came from and the rise and fall of the currency of the kids in the 1990s.
