In the early 1980s, a strange little craze was born — not in a hospital, but in a&nbsp;cabbage patch. These dolls came with names, birth certificates, and adoption papers… and they sparked absolute chaos. Parents brawled in department stores, priests called them ungodly, and conspiracy theorists went wild.But behind the madness lies a story you probably haven’t heard: claims of stolen art, a soft-sculpture pioneer, and a billion-dollar empire built on a very messy beginning.This episode dives into the wild rise of the&nbsp;Cabbage Patch Kids&nbsp;— from their cult-like frenzy to the artist who may never have received the credit she deserved.Thank you to Stephania Blum from<a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/g/15kRbMkjsp/?mibextid=wwXIfr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Cabbage Patch Boutique</a>: IG - @cabbagepatchboutiqueThis episode was brought to you by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/tutdeco/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tüt</a>, toilet lid stickers to zhuzh up your toot.
