The story · 1987

The story of Kanga-Hop Pogo

The Kanga-Hop came with a sticker of a kangaroo in sunglasses and a promise that you could hop around the block. Most kids made it to the mailbox. The spring made a loud boing that echoed off every garage. Counting hops became an official recess sport, complete with referees and serious arguments.

Fun fact

Pogo kids developed incredible calves and a habit of bouncing slightly even while standing in the lunch line.
