Episode 042: When Good Kids Go Bad: The Story of Cabbage Patch Dolls and Garbage Pail Kids

This week Maria takes charge and surprises E.K. with a look into the creation of Cabbage Patch dolls and their creepy cousins, The Garbage Pail Kids. There is lying, cheating, theft and lawsuits in this bizarre tale of two iconic children's franchises from the 1980s. From the first insanely priced Cabbage Patch doll to be "adopted" to the nightmare inducing live action Garbage Pail Kids movie, we examine this tale of two worlds, bound by physical features, but separated by bodily fluids.
