Do you remember Hypercolor shirts? I remember after gym class it was nasty to see people wearing those because their armpits were always a different color.

I certainly hope those are going out of style.

[quote name='CatherineM' post='1722137' date='Dec 7 2008, 11:24 PM']I would just like to say that yo-yos are not out of style. I happen to know I have two new ones under the Christmas tree. I almost took a seminarians head off in the middle of class two weeks ago with an errant throw from the Henry's yo-yo my publisher gave me as a gift since I wouldn't accept any royalties. It's actually very good rehab for my bad shoulder.[/quote]
sweet.

Can't forget about yo-yos. Holy Cannuli, those things were the funnest things ever, until they got banned in grade school. I think I'm still bitter about that.

[quote name='Lilllabettt' post='1721813' date='Dec 7 2008, 05:46 PM']I was thinking about all the stuff that used to be all the rage, and now you never here of it anymore.

Pogs. Pokemon, Beanie Babies, Tae Bo.

That embarassing Macarena dance.

I remember several knock down drag out fights among my fellow third graders over Hello Kitty/Polly Pocket pencil cases.

It amazes me because

1. I feel really old

and

2. When these things came around it felt like they were going to be a fixture of the culture, but poof away they went.[/quote]

i feel even older because these things are way past my time....

[quote name='Maximilianus' post='1722182' date='Dec 8 2008, 12:05 AM']I remember the fad of tight-rolling pants in the late 80's(88-90).[/quote]

You weren't cool if you didn't tight roll your jeans! And you had to wear the double socks too.

I heard somewhere that the tight roll is making a comeback.
