Anybody remember Garbage Pail kids?

[partypony566]

They were Topps cards that came with candy back in the mid 80s ( I even remember having come across some cards as a kid and wondering why cabbage patch dolls now looked all disgusting lol! )

Anyway please show me yours if you have any, and I am looking to buy some so if you have any for sale, let me know

I remember these!   I had a bunch, and if I can find them I will let you know!

I remember them. My cousins and brother had a bunch and I'm pretty certain they had figures too. They've rereleased the cards recently. I've seen them at Target.

Thanks wystearya

Oh really?! Do they look the same as the old ones?

[kaoskat]

Dunno. Haven't actually bought any. I also don't remember them well enough know for sure exactly. The art on the package looks the same as far as I can tell though. I'm sure I can pick a pack up and toss them your way if you like.

I found a bunch of original cards at a local garage sale but I gave them away as a gift.

The new cards are pretty cool and you can get sketch cards.

Haha I have a funny story about these things. I got some of them (in sticker form, not card form) from a friend as a kid and there was one... I don't remember the name of the kid but the picture on the sticker showed a kid's skin being sucked off with a vaccum cleaner and leaving nothing but a skeleton behind (these things were so warped!). Anyway, I must have been a delicate kid because every single time I saw that image of the kid with the skin being sucked off, I would have a gag reflex and have to fight not to throw up. So what did I do? Stuck it on the living room table so I'd look at it every day walking by. Kid logic, I tell you! My dad was all "If it makes you throw up, why did you put it there?!"

Anyway, yes, they're back in stores now! I do believe they are stickers, not cards, though I didn't look at the packaging too closely. The packaging does look just like trading card packaging and they're usually found in stores in the trading card section. You can find them at Target and also stores that sell 'currently in' things, like we have a local store call Bull Moose Music and one called Newbery Comics and both have a whole section of Naruto, Pokemon, YuGiOh cards, MLP trading cards and blind bags, Funko POP figures, etc. and they had the Garbage Pail Kids for sale there. So any store that sells that kind of stuff might have them.

OH YEAH and does anyone remember the live action Garbage Pail Kids movie from the 80's!? AHH the horrors!! It was a trainwreck! Haha. It's hilarious to watch just because it's soooo bad!

[kakenterprise]

I think that movie was awesome!!   I love that they lost half of their friends and it was no big deal lets just move on...

Oh yes I had these when i was little and mine are probably still around somewhere. I can almost remember the taste of the chewing gum that came with them. Think there's one or two websites with the cards. There was one card with a lot of snot, someone being covered in it / eating it, that I found the most disgusting.

The one with the kid with glass all stuck through him freaked me out. I think it's name was "Plate Glass" or something like that.

I was terrified as these things as a kid.  Now I look back at them and get a little chuckle out of just HOW AFRAID I was, lol.

[melodys_angel]

I remember them but never had any^^

[OLumeVaSti]

I still pick them up time from time for kicks

[partypony566]

Thanks for all your input everyone!

I'm totally bidding on some on eBay

[Eviecorn]

I had a modest collection of GPK cards as a kid (and as a young adult - but lost them to an ex who obviously wanted them more than I did!)
