Episode 41: Cabbage Patch Kids

09 Aug 2021

Description

Cabbage Patch Kids was like the Beanie Babies of the 80s, a children’s toy craze that led to a series of infamous in-store riots in the winter of 1983. However, the iconic doll started as folk art not even intended for mass manufacturing. Along the way we have intellectual property theft, multiple lawsuits, concept albums, and a bizarre pretend hospital where these “babies” are born. Cabbage always makes for a good dump
