Pogs<\/strong><br \/>\nWho would believe that a piece of cardboard similar to the ones found on the base of a smarty tube or a party popper would prove to be a big toy of the nineties. Pogs was that toy The word &#8220;pog&#8221; refers to the discs used to play the game. The name originates from POG, a<br \/>\nbrand of juice made from passion fruit, orange and guava; the use of the POG bottle caps to play the game pre-dated the game&#8217;s commercialization. The game of pogs possibly originated in Hawaii in the 1920s. Pogs returned to popularity when the World POG Federation and the Canada Games Company reintroduced them to the public in the 1990s. The pog fad soared in the 1990s before rapidly fading out.<\/p><div class=\"e526d1e761560160a119e3b74cb2a974\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:5px 0 5px 0; text-align:center;\">\nskool\r\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1609637348681190\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3558122710\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>3.
