17. When Beanie Babies were hot, I knew it was just a fad pushed by companies selling

a product.. I had an antique store at the time and had a lot of women coming in looking for Beanie Babies. i'd never buy them b/c it was a self promoting scam. It got so bad having ppl. asking about them so often that I bought one. I had some old science lab trays for dissection of fetal pigs. I think we can all remember H/S aluminum trays with wax at the bottom. I put a sign on the front door saying Beanie Baby inside, and had it as a vivisection pinned down in a on the ceiling of my shop.
I called it Beanie Babies Biopsy's. They didn't sell well so I stopped selling after about a week.
