    No, I never collected them. On a side note they actually made a movie about the Garbage Pail Kids. It was horrible.

      Haha that movie is an abomination. The way movies based on merchandise often are.

    • I know, it is officially one of the worst movies ever made! There is supposedly a new one being made. I'm not sure of the status of it.

    I did but in 2nd grade I was trying to be more 'mature' and threw them away in our garbage.

    Pretty ironic in hindsight...

        I have not but I remember seeing joke stickers similar to this. Not sure if it was the same thing but I never collected anything like this. I did collect things like poke cards though.

            Hell ya. I felt so special that one of them had my name. There's something so wrong with that.

              The use of the four-letter-word referring to a fictitious netherworld, is now Archaic.
              Please refrain from using this term.

    I never had them because my parents thought that they were disgusting. They are.

    I got a couple of them from a friend when I was a kid. I got into a lot of trouble, though, because my mother said I was too young for that "filth". If only she knew what I do online as an adult...

    Never heard of them!
    But knowing myself and my compulsive need to collect things when I was little, especially cards (Pokemon!) I'd have been hooked on these.
