Spanish term or phrase: chapa
This is the description of a product for kids which comes with sweets and two chapas...Are they those disc things that kids collect and trade? (are they still called pogs or am I totally out of touch?).

Pero eso no es todo… como has sido muy valiente, te mereces un premio: caramelos que te endulcen el día y dos divertidas **chapas**, una para cuando te estén curando y otra para seguir jugando.

agree  David Hollywood: "pogs" POGs were these small cardboard circles, often with cartoon characters on them, that were popular with little kids in the US during the early nineties. Kids would play some strange game them or trade them, I never really understood how it went down

pog/ milkcap/ tazo


Explanation:
Pogs (also Milkcaps) is the name of a game that was popular from the early-to-mid-1990s. It got its name from POG, a brand of fruit juice (made from passion fruit, orange and guava); the caps of POG bottles were originally used to play the game.
Tazo, a South American word meaning "Disc," was used to refer to another registered trademark of Frito Lay, with discs that were similar to pogs. Tazos hit their peak in 1996 and 1997 (the same time as the Tamagotchi), with the most popular being the Looney Tunes discs. In the Netherlands these were called "flippos".
