History Of The Hottest Holiday Toys

With the biggest shopping day of the year right around the corner, we are all making our shopping lists and checking them twice. Do you have any of the "hot toys" on your list this year? You know, the ones that the manufacturers only make a limited supply of in order to cause mass hysteria because little Johnny MUST have one? I am amazed at the lengths people will go to get these "hot toys" every year.

The folks over at Brad's Deals recently sent me the History of the Hottest Holiday Toys infographic from their Holiday Deals Site, and I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share it with you here.

The one hot toy on the list that I really remember is Cabbage Patch Kids. My parents didn't take extreme measures to get me one the year they were "hot" and I wasn't scarred for life because of it. Instead, I got several the next year when parents weren't trampling each other to get them. You'll have to check this out and tell me which of these "hot toys" you had as a child.
