;D ;D ;D

You had to figure the Beanie Baby fad would come crashing to the ground, eventually. They're just like all the other novelty trends that have come and gone over the years, like mood rings, Rubik's Cubes, Cabbage Patch Kids, and stuff.

I kind of think Beanie Babies are one of the defining items of late 1990s pop culture, along with things like Tickle-Me-Elmo dolls, Furbys, Pokemon, Hanson and the Spice Girls.

By the way, I'm totally creeped out that a company with the reputation of Scholastic would publish a book like this!

They had them in a case and they all had their own names and everything. And I think there were ones that represented each country and had the country flag on it.

Now, just to let everybody know the only reason I know all of this is because back then I was taking my niece and my nephews out a lot and they were collecting them, not me LOL.
