Cool trends that faded out

[Corny]

omg .. I totally forgot about these

 

[gsdx]

I fear that this 'trend' is going to haunt mankind for all eternity:

3D

I fear this particular trend is being pushed back down everyone's throats by way of Hollywood cinema releases...

 

[AlmondMilk]

I threw my pogs out when I thought they were stupid

I remember getting a carrying case for them with my name at a friend's birthday party, too

Heavy Metal (Hair Bands) and long hair on men

Gumby and Pokey had MEGASTAR status in 80's

Sony Walkman

 

[AlmondMilk]

Oh, and Tamagotchi? I never got one, though. I had a nano baby.

I'm not talking about the new 3D. I'm talking about the old 3D that required the red and green lenses when movies were made to be in 3D without all the 3D 'effects'.

Gumby wasn't a trend, it was a movement.

I'm glad this one's over.

At the height of the rubik cube popularity .....there was a children cartoon with the rubik cube as the hero (in the 80's)

Men's short shorts.

Tom Selleck's Magnum PI was right in the middle of the trend too.

I wish short shorts would make a come back. I can't stand board shorts. I would rather wear pants.

 

[metta]

^
those look like normal shorts to me.

I wear both lengths...I don't care what the trend is.

Coco Rico and Kool Aid.

 

[AlmondMilk]

Kool Aid is still in. The Kool Aid man frequents Family Guy if I remember correctly.

Not to mention the button tufted leather seats that had about a foot of stuffing in them that were more comfortable that the couch in the house. And when you said a car had either that Lincoln Ride or Cadillac Ride - it meant hours of pleasurable comfortable motoring. Oh yeah - and if you were above 6 feet tall - you could still sit anywhere in the car and be comfortable. Try that now in a Honda Civic.

And wire hubcaps

[LilBit]

^Oh, I found Pogo Ball so disappointing. I spent $13 on the thing, and it deflated after about three uses.

 

[HoodedRat]

Cool trends???!!!

The words 'corporate-derived, mass-appeal, sheeple-tastic, artificially-manufactured, sales-opportunity, lowest-common-denominator, transient-shite' spring far more readily to mind.

The same thing can be said about your left tit.

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