I was 10 years old when Tazos came into my life. I remember it was a day like any other when my mother's store gave me a packet of potato chips and, to my surprise, I found a small plastic disc with the image of Angry Birds on it.  Excited, I ran to school the next day and showed my Tazos to my friends. They had also received Tazos in their packages and soon a trading group was formed in the schoolyard.  Little by little I began to collect more Tazos.  During recess, my friends and I would spend hours and hours trading with the Tazos. Every time I recall those afternoons of games, they bring back memories of those days full of excitement,friendship and fun. For me, Tazos represented a fundamental part of my childhood and the experience of growing up in Colombia.
