Cool trends that faded out

[LilBit]

The same thing can be said about your left tit.

At least I don't have a prolapsed cunt.

My memories of the pogo ball are very FOND. Lasted me until I was bored with it.

So did mine. Three uses was enough.

Cabbage Patch Kids. No, I never had one.
Chemistry sets.
I even had a geology set.
Rock collections.
Black light posters.
The middle class. No, it didn't fade out, it was eliminated by the upper class.

But Teenie Babies:

I was definitely caught up in it when I was young. XD I remember I wanted the dragon....

PacMan was a megastar and icon of the eighties.

Buying a home you cannot afford to pay for.

Banks giving out "creative" mortage loans.

I know. As I've said before in this thread, I was talking about the old 'red/green' 3D. It was a trend that died out many decades ago, tried to make a comeback, and died out again. Even polarised 3D didn't make it when it came out and died an early death. I suspect this 'new' version will die out also.

Drive-In theatres. They pretty much died out with the arrival of VCR technology and have never really made a comeback, at least not here in Oz.

Such a pity .... An evening's movie entertainment at the drive-in was a lot of fun!

They've pretty-much disappeared here, too, but one opened just this past Spring about a half-hour drive from where I live. It did pretty good business.

I see. And yeah I don't know how long this 3D craze will last, but I think it'll be here for a longer time than the original. What with TVs, video games and even phones becoming 3D....

TAB soft drink..

I used to love that stuff. It was my favourite. I haven't seen it up here in many decades. Is it still available?

 

[wonderwort]

I have the power!!!!!!





Yo Joe!!!!!!



Two of my favorites.

(If you're gonna link a cartoon....cartoons featuring cartoon children are a no no)

Imo the 80's baggy pants trend was the UGLIEST EVER.

This icon of the eighties made big hair possible.

There's actually one in a small town an hour or so from where I live. I haven't been in, like, 5 years, but it was pretty packed and fun when I went. An enjoyable experience.

Back in the ninties seeing someone dailing at pay phone while looking at their beepers ..........was just as common as seeing someone figetting with their smarts phones today.

[Deandbn]

Proper cars.

This is real beautiful. However if i had to drive it any distance on a regular basis, i would want to install real brakes with ABS and EBD and radial tyres for control. I would also want a real engine and gearbox, probably a 7 or 8 speed with double clutch and tiptronic. Inside I would want a sound system. Yeah I think that would do perfect.

 

[wonderwort]

Did anyone here ever use a "book belt"?

When were they popular?

Im a child of the eighties and early nineties , we all had backpacks. I only remember seeing book belts in some of the cartoons I watched.

The electronic typewriter

I had one of these in HS in the early ninties. I remember procrastinating to the last second to do my book report. I spent two whole days and nights reading the book and writing the report. I still remember being up at 4 am typing the report out.
