<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3155114, member: 66&quot;]The game of Pog was originally played with the old cardboard milk bottle caps, of which few of us probably remember first hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those too young to remember, there used to be something called the Milkman.&nbsp; Every morning they would make their rounds to their customers picking up the empty milk bottles from the day before and leaving full ones.&nbsp; If you didn&#039;t want one you would leave a note in the bottle and he would check again the next day.&nbsp; You would also leave you payment in the bottle.</p><p><br /></p><p>These were wide mouth glass bottles with a groove just inside the opening.&nbsp; They would be sealed to prevent spillage with a cardboard disk, oftem printed with advertising for the dairy.&nbsp; That was how it was done through maybe the late fifties when they started using a crimped aluminum cap.

Each player would put their disks (or Pogs) face down and then hit them with a large disk something about the size of a hockey puck (A Slammer).&nbsp; The idea was to try to flip them over.&nbsp; If you did you got to keep the disk that you filpped.&nbsp; They person withthe most disks after they were all flipped was the winner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
