It was featured heavily on Bad Influence with Violet Berlin, so this must have been... 1991?

Bad Influence ran from 1993 to about 95, so sometimes during then.

i had completely forgotten about these
in ireland there was a ridiculously complicated competition in supermarkets to do with them,i won one in the end but it was something like you got a barcode with each purchase and if it matched one of a list of barcodes printed every week you won
we used to rob loads of the barcodes to improve chances of winning,but whether it was worth spending hours comparing barcodes to a list is another question
what a concept for a toy though...
