Final Jeopardy Explanation – Thursday, May 9 2024
The November 29, 1983, New York Times article that used phrases such as “near-riot,” “adoptable,” “waiting for 8 hours,” and “my life (is) in danger” was referring to the release and intense consumer demand for Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. During the early 1980s, Cabbage Patch Kids dolls became a massive sensation in the United States, leading to unprecedented scenes of chaos and long lines at stores as parents and collectors tried to purchase the highly sought-after toys, especially during the holiday season. The dolls, known for their unique, hand-stitched appearance and adoption-themed purchase process, were in such demand that store stocks would often be depleted within hours, sometimes leading to physical altercations among customers vying to secure a doll for the holidays. The phenomenon highlighted the extremes of consumer behavior driven by popular trends and the lengths to which people would go to obtain these must-have items for their children.
