Gen X Toys Trivia
byBrian Rollins

Merry Christmas Eve my friends! Even if you don’t celebrate the holiday, I hope you’re warm and cozy and enjoying the day. For our penultimate episode of 2025, I’ve got Gen X Toy Trivia. Why Gen X? Because I’m Gen X and it’s my show.

But also because of the changes in how things were advertised to kids made our toys a little more intense. Fear not, future holiday episodes will reach out to other generations.
