Tamagochis - I was working in Tandy's when they came out. One week we offloaded 400 of the little buggers.

AFAIKR they lasted a bit more than a month..
I still have several kicking about in the kids toy boxes.
The youngest has even asked for a new one!
Of course, the answer was NO! I got fed up having to look after the daughters puppy when she was at school.

you're kidding... some mobile phones have them on them!!!
I found the fastest way to kill them though..... a 14lb sledgehammer
I had one and liked it so much I wrote one in VB, I'll see if I can dig the code out and I'll post it on here! - Give you all something to look after in the winter nights ...
