"Severe neglect"
After Kitty Purry and her new fella Orlando Bloom wore matching Tamagotchi's to the Met Gala on Monday, we thought it was an appropriate time to reflect upon our undying love for Tamagotchi's.
At their peak in the 90s, almost everyone at school who have one of the Japanese electronic pets. While many owners fell by the wayside, a small but dedicated number adopted the stray Tamagotchi's and gave them a new home (RIP Bertie, I hope you forgive me...)

3) New life is so profound.
