Céčka
Céčka (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx; singular céčko) were plastic toys from Czechoslovakia popular in the 1980s and 90s, formerly used as parts of door hangings.[1]
History
The initial intention was to use Céčka as buckles for women's clothing, but it was a failure.[2] The next attempt was to use them as parts of door hangings, but this did not succeed either.[2] The real interest, which was born among the Czechoslovak children, set off Céčková horečka (Céčka fever).[3] From 1984, Céčka became scarce materials of considerable value (for children) almost instantly.[4] The basic shape is a letter C.[5]
Plastic parts can be chained, and they were also used in several games, for instance, one similar in principle to pitching pennies.[4] It also inspired Michal David's song Céčka, sbírá céčka (C's, she collects C's).[1] Céčka are also mentioned twice in the song Pochodové cvičení by Czech singer and songwriter Slávek Janoušek.[6]
