I rarely watch tv, but today I turned on the Food Network for a few minutes and I saw this commercial for Geico. It cracked me up. If you haven’t seen it...Enjoy!
Did you have a Cabbage Patch Kid?

Over the years, I collected 5. I remember the name of the first one: Ricky Nessa (a girl). Then I got a boy (Beau, something). Then a Preemie girl, then a Preemie boy, then a Cornsilk-haired girl. And I was done.

My mother waited on line for HOURS for Randy. Loved him. He’s in the attic with Holly Hobby.

Yvonne Marie - red braids and a white & red sailor suit. She currently resides in a storage bag in the garage far from the grips of our two girls along with an Ernie puppet I got from the Sutter’s.

I had two - mom still complains about Christmas 1984 and the lines at Service Merchandise. Saw this commercial the other day and died laughing as well!

Thankfully, I never owned a cabbage patch doll. One time, though, when selling candy bars door to door as a fundraiser, a neighbor asked if that’s where my sister and I thought babies came from, since my mom wouldn’t let her 2nd and 3rd graders go through the public school sex ed program. When we said, “No.” she asked where we thought they came from. So, that’s my primary association with cabbage patch dolls: a grownup getting in my 3rd grade face and trying to pry what I know about sex out of me. The @#$#@ didn’t even buy a candy bar to support my soccer team.
To this day, I regard JAKKS Pacific, Inc. as an accomplice/abettor in that assault on my childhood self-esteem and deplore all CPKs as evil dolls and the myths that surround them as from the pit of hell.
Other than that, they look kinda cute.

PS: Now, if you had a true story like that to tell about your kids, you could probably get away with not participating in another school fundraiser for the next decade or so. Sadly, your kids will probably never have something like that happen to them.

No, I thought they looked weird.

Mamasboy,
Your neighbor had some serious issues.
Amy,
Birthed? Um. how does that work?

Kat, do you not know about the Cabbage Patch kid farm in Georgia?!? From the perspective of being all grown up, it’s a little disturbing!

They pop out of a cabbage of course! and you call out name suggestions that go on the adoption certificate. You can then adopt that Cabbage Patch doll if you want, it’s expensive though.
