Was Spending All That Money On Beanie Babies Worth It?

We could have had it all.

If you were blessed enough to be a 90s kid, at one point this was probably you:

Because Beanies Babies were god's gift. There was literally no such thing as too many.

You probably did unspeakable things for special editions (like cleaning your room or helping your Mom with the laundry).

And forced your Mom to drive across state lines for this piece of paper and a complete set of even smaller teenie babies.

But then one morning, just like that shitty kid in Toy Story, you cast these beloved friends aside.

And they were forever consigned to the dustiest corner of your attic.

Now you're an adult who's surrounded by at least a college semester's worth of plush toys with the tags still on them.

Basically you're poor and staying that way, no thanks to Beanie Babies.
