THE TWELVE DAYS OF POGMAS - DAY 7

 I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING TODAY. GO HERE TO CHECK IT OUT. OR JUST SCROLL DOWN, EITHER WAY YOU WIN

2000 PACIFIC 7-11 SLURPEE DISCS ALEX GONZALEZ 



HA HA! I CHEATED! THIS ISN'T A MILK CAP AT ALL, IT'S A DISC! WHICH IS THE SAME THING, REALLY. IT'S EVEN JUST ABOUT THE SAME SIZE, SOMEHOW POG SIZE GOT STANDARDIZED WHICH IS BIZARRE CONSIDERING THE SHEER AMOUNT OF BOOTLEGS AND KNOCKOFFS. I COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY SNUCK IN A TOPPS COIN OR ONE OF THOSE SPORTSFLICS PROMOS FROM THE 80S BUT THOSE WERE FROM BEFORE THE GRAT POG CRAZE OF NINETY-FOUR. THIS ISN'T EXACTLY CONTEMPORARY BUT IT'S THE FIRST SLURPEE DISC SET RELEASED AFTER POGS WERE A THING SO WHY NOT. IT'S A LENTICULAR ODDBALL SET FROM PACIFIC OF ALL COMPANIES. PACIFIC CARDS ARE ALWAYS* AWESOME ADD ODDBALL STORE BRAND LENTICULAR AND WE'RE ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL

 

 THE BACKS ARE VERY WELL DONE. FULL COLOR WITH A METALLIC LOOKING RIM FOR A BORDER AND A TEAM LOGO AND A 7-11 LOGO AND ALL THE LEGALESE LOGOS. THE STATS ARE A LITTLE AWKWARD  BUT AT LEAST THEY TRIED TO CRAM THEM IN SOMEWHERE. THIS ONE'S A LITTLE BEAT UP BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE I FOUND IT IN A PARKING LOT. DESPITE ME BEING A BIG OL BOY WHO LOVES SLURPEES I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A SINGLE ONE OF THESE DISCS FROM BUYING A DRINK. PART OF THAT MIGHT BE BECAUSE THE ONES IN MY CITY EVAPORATED IN THE 80S WHEN THEY WERE HAVING FINANCIAL TROUBLES BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN CHEATED OUT OF A SMALL JOY IN LIFE

 

 

 UH OH THE FLAMES ARE GETTING HOTTER. THAT PLASTIC WILL LIKELY GIVE OFF NOXIOUS FUMES WHEN ABLAZE SO ON THE OTHER TREE IT GOES

*WELL, MOST OF THEM ARE AWESOME, ESPECIALLY LATE 90S ONES
