@kelseyhusky Ooh. What are these, if I may ask?

@fibonacci_reminder These are Pogs. Its a commercialized version of a local game from Hawai'i that was originally played using the cardboard caps off the local mixed drink of Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava juice that was readily available on the Islands.
Okay, so I was honestly planning on this being longer, but then I realized that its stupid for me to try and summurize knowledge that I've long started forgetting, and upon checking my information, figured out that I didn't even have the full story. So here's the main wiki article:

All of the pogs in the picture belonged to either me or my mom. I remember teachers in my elementary school trying to "limit" the amount of time kids could play Pogs to Recess. It was part of a Quintilogy of fads that went through my school. The other parts were Yo-Yos, Twin-Stick Yo-Yos a toy that I've only heard referred to as "Devil's Sticks (but they probably have an actual name), and Magic.

@kelseyhusky Huh! I've heard of pogs for years, but I don't think I've ever actually, like, *seen* any before. Thank you for the information!
