Beanie Babies peaked in maybe 1998 and were at one point 10% of sales on eBay. If you were an American above the age of 5 in 1998 I'm not sure it's possible to be unaware of them.

Agreed…not owning one is understandable. Not hearing about it at all in the US if you’re a millennial is perplexing (I’m an early 90s kid too).
Yup that is my point - OP just mentioned millennial which includes non-US
yeah, and were at tag sales until like 2006
other examples are like Tamagotchi and Furby
They had to ban Tamagotchi from my elementary school. I remember Furby's but never had one. It would be interesting seeing how those phenomenons spread over time
I did a big road trip this year and beanie babies were back in a bunch of truck stops and such
