The Quiz: Which classic toy asked new owners to take an oath?
The Furby
Teddy Ruxpin
American Girl Doll
Cabbage Patch Kids
In 1976, Xavier Roberts began handcrafting a line of fabric sculpture dolls. The “Little People,” as he initially referred to them, were “adopted,” not sold, and arrived from the “Babyland General Hospital” in Cleveland, Georgia, carrying a birth certificate and adoption papers. Their adoptive “parents” were required to raise their right hand and swear to love and protect their new “child.” Roberts sold thousands of “Little People” before signing a deal with toymaker Coleco to mass-produce the toys. After being rebranded as the Cabbage Patch Kids, they became the must-have toy of the 1983 holiday season.
The correct answer to this quiz is Cabbage Patch Kids.
