I was pumping gas on my way home from work today and an ambulance and two cop cars head over to Wal-Mart... I make the comment to the person next to me about " Oh it's the 1984 Cabbage Patch Doll riots all over again" She laughed so hard...

Cabbage Patch riot was before I was born, but I've been hearing a lot about it (and have heard about it in the past) now with the new Cabbage Patch thing coming out.

I had the cabbage patch twins

I love how they are back in style now.

Never liked them always wanted the life like babys and grandmother kept buying me those cabbage kids...I would put them down the sealed up laundry chute lmao.

When I worked toys r us those things gave us heck cause the boxes would not stack up neatly and high enough(overstock-shelves above the main item display shelf area

I was working at K-Mart at the time. I was so tired of telling people on the phone that we didn't have any and that I didn't know when the next shipment was. When we did get them, it was maybe 5-10 at a time. The Care Bears were almost as bad.

LOL I still have my Cabbage Patch Kids and my Care Bear.

How funny!!

I had a Cabbage Patch kid when I was little! I loved him!

His name was "Jeffrey" - can't remember if that was his origional name or something I came up with. He's in a closet at my mom's place, I plan to pass him down someday if I have children!

I thought this was an interesting read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabbage_Patch_Kids

I know mine is either in my attic or my mothers. I didn't like the tattoo on it's hind end. I thought it was mean. LOL! It's actually dressed in one of my sleepers from when I was a baby.

I remember thinking my cousin's got better ones than me. Mine had this little tuft of hair on top of it's head. My cousin's were the spoiled brats who would throw a fit if they didn't get things the way they wanted it. Everyone knew I'd behave so I always got the version of the toys/clothes/etc...usually in yellow or green because my cousins had to have the pink and blue....that they would have thrown fits over. Wow...didn't realize I'm still so salty over it all! LOL! Don't worry; my cousin's managed to grow up to be decent adults! LOL!

I do also have my Care Bear (the yellow one....LOL!) but I think someone made mine for me.
