Madballs: Love By Kids, Hated By Parents!

The Madballs were a series of grotesque looking foam balls made up of different characters. They were a moderate hit in the 80s and would lead to comic books and cartoon spinoffs. They have a very interesting origin story that involves the game of "Hot Potato" and there may be a main reason behind their success. Show notes: Madballs Learn more about your ad choices.
