HI! What state or country are you from?



The universal language of pin trading...I mean come on, they sure are pretty..even boys are captured by them! I am assuming in the first years of Ootm world competition...the states were all sticking together, the countries mingling amongst themselves...and so the founders of thinking outside of the box must have thought..hmmm..how to get these kids talking to eachother in such a short amount of time? AH HAH! Introduce pins, yes, yes...have each state, region, country...make their own and have them trade...perfecto!

Now let me tell you, it is not just the kids obsessed with trading...adults in the pool of traders are right there in there..watching the trades, managing the pins...I heard many many times..."Oh my kid just stepped away, but I know what he's looking for, I can make a decision for him.." I myself was guilty of sending mine off to get an ice cream so I could be a kid again for 10 minutes and make some trades! FUN FUN FUN!
