Oh, and each toy also came with a wearable bracelet so kids could flaunt their proud ownership of a puppy-shaped lockbox. Well, with a bejeweled plastic tummy compartment and key, Secret Keepins was the coolest and cuddliest way to keep your stuff safe. After all, where are you going to keep your prized candy stash, loose quarters, and the various other treasures you’ve collected in your short stint on earth? Secret KeepinsĪs a kid, secure storage was always a problem. Unfortunately for these pups, their bright lights didn’t keep them from becoming stuck in the weird and wacky section of 90s toy history. The CuddleBrites couldn’t spark enough interest to last past their initial 1991 release, and no more were produced. On top of lighting up, the fur could also be brushed by kids eager to groom their radiant puppy pal. There were four original CuddleBrites (Amberglow, Glitterplum, Rosyshine, and Lillylite) that had slightly different lighting features and came with a wearable charm. The light would also change when kids danced with or rocked their CuddleBrite to sleep. When kids pressed down on their CuddleBrite’s head, the fiber optics would light up. If there’s one thing guaranteed to make a stuffed animal more exciting, it’s adding a bunch of lights to it…right? In 1991, Dreamworks had the ‘brite’ idea to try this by releasing a small line of plush dogs with electronic bows and fur. Look at those faces – the electronics might be frying their puppy brains! 3. While the core concept of the toy has remained unchanged, the newer ones have gotten more creative with the fur colors (the magnificent rainbow-fur Tia is a standout). If you thought this unusual 90s stuffed animal was gone, you’re in for a surprise of your own! That’s right Puppy Surprise is still being made today, although not by Hasbro. Can you still get a Puppy Surprise today? However, this didn’t stop the toy from becoming insanely popular, and Hasbro eventually applied the idea to other animals with Bunny Surprise and Pony Surprise. Only one in five toys had more than three puppies, so for most kids, the surprise was a disappointing one. The magical ‘surprise’ for kids was seeing how many puppies they got and what sex they were (boys had blue ribbons, girls had pink ones). Puppy Surprise looks like your ordinary stuffed dog, but hidden inside were between three to five babies. Well, that’s what Hasbro thought when they came up with this bizarre idea. How do you evolve the simple concept of a stuffed animal? Make a pregnant version, of course! All the fun of a pregnant pup without any of the vet bills! 1.
