***Tabasco (full size) and Snort (Teenie) Beanie Babies*** I thought it was only fair I haul these two critters out of the barn first! Tabasco the bull loves to play basketball and deserves stretch his legs and shoot some hoops with spring right around the corner! Who better to cheer him on than his mini sidekick Snort. Born in 1995 Tabasco came on the scene as a flashy new addition to the Beanie Babies roster and his name caused a little *dust up*, "Tabasco" was challenged for copyright infringement and was changed to "Snort". I have a first edition who bears the "Tabasco" name tag. When a collection featuring his **Teenie Beanie** version, now named "Snort", was released by McDonald's in 1997 **it was fucking chaos**. A McDonald's employee was arrested for stealing and trying to resell the beanies, people got so aggressive that the police had to be called to multiple McDonald's locations across the country, and the total run of Teenie Beanies sold out in two weeks.
