Chio Dragon Ball cards.

Each of us, in our childhood, youth, had his horse. Something around which our whole life revolved. If, like me, you were born in the first half of the 1990s, you probably had a binder full of colorful cards, Bravo posters and very well remember Dragon Ball cards from Chio chips.

One of the most popular “cartoons” of the turn of the 20th century was, without a doubt, the Japanese anime Dragon Ball. It was based on a manga written by acclaimed genre author Akira Toriyama between 1984 and 1995. Between 1999 and 2003, the RTL 7 (and later TVN 7) television station broadcast, the aforementioned anime gathering a crowd of young, loyal fans in front of their screens. Many people remember the French dubbing, which still evokes nostalgia in DB fans. Deserted backyards during Dragon Ball broadcasts said a lot about the popularity of the anime.

Although it has been more than 20 years since BD came off the silver screen, it has become a permanent part of pop culture and still has its enthusiasts around the world.
Today, I want to take you, the reader, on a small, sentimental journey in a time machine, when the whole elementary school was alive with card tournaments or illegal trading of what were more unique cards. All classmates would gather around the person who had just opened a packet of chips, and in addition to the standard question “Will you give one?” there would be a second one, uttered with genuine excitement “And what do you have?”.
