Pogs is a game that was popular among children during the mid 1990s. The name originates from POG, a brand of juice made from passionfruit, orange, and guava; the use of POG bottle caps to play the game preceded the game's commercialization. The game of pogs possibly originated in Hawaii (Maui) in the 1920s or 1930s, or possibly with origins in Menko, a Japanese card game very similar to pogs, which has been in existence since the 17th century. Pogs returned to popularity when the World POG Federation and the Canada Games Company reintroduced them to the public in the 1990s. The pog fad soared, and peaked in the mid-1990s.
