Cabbage Patch Craze Hits the U.S. As holiday seasons approached, Christmas shopping became a priority on everyone's list. This past year the soft sculptured Cabbage Patch dolls were number one on several Christmas lists. The dolls sold like wildfire. Every day, stores across America ordered hundreds upon hundreds of these dolls and every day most of the stores sold out their entire stock. The factories were open day and night manufacturing the dolls; the factory workers went into overtime, and still there were not enough for the demanding consumers. Fights broke out in stores because so many people were trying to buy what was left of the sought after dolls. What was it about these dolls that caused such trouble? Was it their cute smiles that attracted so much attention, or was it the fact that each little doll was an original with a birth certificate? Well, whatever the reason, these little dolls will definitely go down in history as being the only vegetable that every child loved. 8 Current Events
