When I was a kid these things were insanely popular.
Pogs or milk caps, a popular 90s childrens game.
Origin
"The game of milk caps possibly originated in Maui, Hawaii during the 1920s or 1930s, or possibly with origins in Menko, a Japanese card game very similar to milk caps, which has been in existence since the 17th century. The game of milk caps was played on the Hawaiian island of Maui as early as 1927"
Slammers
"The standard Slammer Whammers product was a blister pack containing 24 milkcaps and 2 slammers. Imperial Toy Corp. released various sets of milkcaps under the Slammer Whammers name, for example Biker Bugs, Wise Guys, Skull Squad and Wild Things.
There were 288 slammer whammers to collect. This 288 set comprised 12 individual sets of 24 caps to collect. There were also sets of 24 caps that were not part of the 288 big set.

When I was a kid not only did I love the brand name pogs, I got my hands on this beautiful machine!
Game changer.
I am looking for Slammers!
If you have any please leave a comment. If you have pogs please let me know! I would love to revive the game with anyone who may know about this. If you have a variation in your country, please tell us how the game works! Thanks for reading.
I am cataloging my personal collection of various collectibles.
