Beanie Babies
Wow, we haven’t thought of Beanie Babies in years, which goes to show how gullible people were back in the 1990s. Confused? Allow us to explain. Back then, TY pretty much sold us the idea that buying Beanie Babies was a smart investment. Sometime in the future, they’d skyrocket in value and price, and you could be living on some beautiful island somewhere just from selling one or two Beanie Babies.
The craziness of Beanie Babies was so bad that one time, a divorced husband and wife actually went through the tedious process of splitting up their Beanie Baby investment in front of a judge. Those guys are someone’s parents and grandparents today.
