Yes, I'm familiar with Beanie Babies.

I probably won't watch the movie.

I’d forgotten about Beanie Babies, but a new movie is rectifying that.

I’d forgotten how grown adults went through the McDonald’s drive-through to order happy meals just to get the mini Beanie Babies and then throw out the food and go through again and again until they got what they wanted.

What a waste.

I still have a couple of Beanies, I suppose—a Christmas bear who comes out with the Christmas decorations, maybe a brown bear that’s wearing a frog suit—I can’t quite remember. There’s Rover, a red dog in two sizes, because if you want to have red rover send people over, you have to cover all your bases.
