Fads
Who remembers these fads?
Slinky?
Pretty sure this is one from
the 60's.
Had so much fun with this
one.
From the 70's,
Also from the 70's.
I had the mood ring.
Wore it all the time.
Smiley faces were on everything.
Lava lamps....and black lights
were everywhere.
And that silly cube that I
could never get close to
being all one color on each side!
Pet Rocks, silly to waste money
on that when you could go out
and pick up one in the yard! haha
and even through I was big
in the crafts, string art was not
something I took up.
Not sure what year these became
big but yes, in the 70's I had one.
Early 70's!
Had fun with these also.
I wore these like crazy
in the 80's!
had a pair in every color.
Think these were the 80's
also.
80's with the Cabbage Patch Kids.
Fur Babies.
Slap band bracelets.
Then came the 90's
with the Tamagotchi.
Beanies Babies.
And now these.
Fidget Spinners.
Said to be a distraction to the
class and teachers
but also reported to be
great for kids that have
ADHD, ADD,
anxiety disorders and
stress.
Had to laugh when I heard that on
the radio today Liz A!.
One more thing you teachers
have to deal with.
Thanks for stopping in,

Ah, the jellies. I so wanted a pair. So badly. But they didn't make them in my size! (I have an extra wide foot.)
The banana clips, yes '80s. They were huge for one summer, later '80s, and then they vanished. '87? Anyway, they were perfect for my hair, so I lamented that they had such a brief tenure in popularity.
Ah, and Goat Cheese. (Tamagotchis.) I was working for the evil toy store when those were huge. In fact, I worked in the very department where they were sold, so I was at ground zero for that one.
As for the spinners, I heard last week that the woman who invented the things is not seeing one cent from their popularity. She invented them in '95. Tried to sell them to Hasbro. No takers. So, she let her patent lapse... I kind of hate the world on her behalf.
I had all that stuff too and I didn't get the pet rock either. So silly!
In the last post... That look on your pup's face when you took him to the vet is priceless! LOL!!

We have a slinky, and I'm wanting to get a set of jacks to play with the girls.
