Did anyone else see the post comparing #bitcoin to #cabbagepatch dolls? I'd love to have that shared with me...

I worked at Consumers Distributing in the late 80s. I can attest to the insanity. And because they were individual dolls we had to bring out a million different ones until they found the one they wanted. And usually they couldn’t find one they wanted. I think they were SKUd by hair colour so at least we could narrow it down.

Billion Dollar Babies: the wild story behind the #CabbagePatch Kids
A new #documentary looks back at the 80s toy craze and the battle over who really created the dolls in the first place

"[Roberts] agreed to an extensive interview, one in which he does not downplay the importance of [Martha] Thomas’s role in his success. He seems more or less comfortable with the fact that he seized her [the female artist's] idea and retrofitted it for the Reagan era."

23 years ago, we had 1 grandson.

We were thrilled, raised him as our own for several years in our home, before he moved to Florida and later back to Canada, and finally local..

We moved on too, having additional FUR Kids of our own. Settled and Retired.

AND SUDDENLY, there was a new grandson, in the USA, that we couldn't get to.. and while we were distressed and planning, a year long, to get there.. there's going to be another grandbaby, local.

I thought Marga was last?

Le #bambole #CabbagePatch erano vendute con un certificato di nascita, proprio come bambini veri. Non stupisce quindi che negli anni '80, al culmine della loro popolarità, si sia diffusa questa leggenda:

Una madre distrusse per errore la bambola della figlia. Sperando in una sostituzione, la mandò alla ditta produttrice. Dopo alcuni giorni, ricevette invece un certificato di morte, e un conto per le spese del funerale.

Ne parlo con @GiuseppeStilo1 sul sito del CeRaVoLC
