I have been trying to explain this wonderful piece of 80's nostalgia for years. I had hundreds of these and wish so badly I could have them back! My favorite was a little pink "pencil" box with tiny crayons in it. Oh, the memories.

What were they called though?? That is what I can't remember and it's driving me crazy!! Were they just "plastic charms"? Anyone know??
SZA - November 20, 2008 - Report this comment
We always called them "junk necklaces".
Amy - November 23, 2008 - Report this comment
I was so excited to see these again. I have been describing these to my daughters and now, they can see them. They were so cool!
Robin - December 02, 2008 - Report this comment
Wow! My friend Carmen and I wore these all the time. I must have chunked these in the trash as I got older.
Kathleen Guy - December 30, 2008 - Report this comment
My fav one was the pineapple charm
Jen - December 31, 2008 - Report this comment
I agree these were the coolest things ever to have. And you could trade them with your friends. I remember the baby bottle actually held liquid and you could squirt it out. What were they called for real??
SZA - December 31, 2008 - Report this comment
They were called JUNK NECKLACES (at least where I lived, Ohio).

Aaahhh. Good memories! I had a ton of charms. I remember my necklace was a dark pink color. I wish I still had it.
Melissa - February 19, 2009 - Report this comment
I had one when I was a kid, and I remember my first charm was a baby bottle with a fuschia top and white tip. The necklace was lavender. My mom would only let me pick out one charm, and that was the one I picked. My favorite one was the abaccus. I had a pink one. I loved those rainbow colored beads that slide back and fourth. I had so many charms when I was a kid, but I lost most of them, or gave them away. Now I'm playing catch up and have 3 necklaces full of them!

I had these too!!! My mom would buy me one when we went down town to the woolworth stores. i had a mass of them
brightbite - August 24, 2009 - Report this comment
In my town, you could tell the economic status of every girl who wore these. The dirt poor kids had zero, or one they got in a gumball machine. Kids who were not as well off, but still above dirt poor maybe had a few (like myself), and the kids who had two or more full chains were those who came from money.

These charms were 6 bucks a charm were I live. Pretty costly. I got bunch from wishing well for like 10 cents a charm , thry were a cheeper qulaity but they were good enough. There was a girl i my class had a bihnder full of them.

I just found mine in storage at my parents house! I counted all the ones I have, and not including the broken ones I threw out, I have 109 charms. I know I have a few more somewhere. I was going to throw them out when I found them. Not sure what to do with them lol! Guess I will just leave it in a bag for now.
T - November 10, 2009 - Report this comment
We called them charm necklaces. My favorite charms were the baby bottle and the toilet. We were really poor, so I only had a very few charms. I think I had 5 or 6 that I managed to get after months of begging. Most of my friends had a lot more charms than I did. I've bought a ton on eBay to make up for all I didn't have when I was a kid.

This made me smile! I miss being a kid!!! I had so many charms I loved clipping them on!
Molly - November 20, 2009 - Report this comment
I know! Too cool, my cousin found one at a garage sale... I just searched and found that someone saw an original box on ebay that said: Boogie Oogie Funky Chunky Charm Necklace, and I also saw a posting that said the maker is thinking of bringing them back!!!! Doesn't that mean we are getting old, when they start bringing stuff back? LOL

I, too, am buying my childhood back. I have found some cute ones on Ebay. I only have a few of my original ones left. Don't know if I gave them away or sold them at a garage sale... but I am slowly replacing the ones I remember that I had back in the day! :-)

My plastic charm necklace was my most prized possession when I was 5. So I came here in hope of finding something similar for my 5-year old. I would still have mine but I was mean to the neighbor one day and my punishment was giving her my charm necklace!

I am from South Africa, we used to buy these plastic charms by the bags (i don't remember them being expensive) but we used to take them to school and play a game with them and i don't remember how the game went..but it meant winning and losing charms from and to our friends....the same time that the boys were playing their game of marbles!! I would love to bring them back for my kids to introduce to their friends!

I loved my thermometer that got burned and kind of melted from trying to get a temperature! And the baby bottle, the ping pong paddle, and the racket with the little shoes. Oh and the record!

I had these! I first saw my best friend with some of them back around 85. I had to get them too, of course. We just called them "charms." My grandmother would even get me some from her church's flea market - they would sell them there too. I loved them.
