beanie mania

it's a documentary we watched on hbo max about the beanie baby craze in the late 1990s.
it started with a few white, bored suburban, chicago area moms collecting them & probably would've stayed a chicago or even a mid-west thing, but one of them worked for people magazine & things got big from there.
still not sure why people thought that they'd be in demand enough to pay for their kid's college fund in the future. i guess some people will always believe the hype.
