DoEs AnY OnE rEmEmBeR......

[Tenshi no Ai]

One day I was vacuuming under one of the beds and I got the fright of my life as a strange voice said something out of the blue. I looked under the bed and saw I had bumped a Furby. Don't those things ever shut up?

I just find that hillarious!
Yeah, I sort of broke mine by dropped it on the hard floor :/ It either moves it's mouth wihout saying anything, makes clicking noises and says something like "pet, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (and so on)"


Here's another fad: Spice Girls! VERY popular at my school and here's some stuff I remember:

-everyone wanted platform shoes
-girls collected PILES of Spice photos
-bought the Spice Girls suckers to collect the stickers
-one girl bought flavored carboned water because it was one girl's favorite drink (how do I remember these things?)
-when the movie came out, our theatre can seat a lot, but so many people wanted to see Spice World, that they had to kick out people (and the line-ups were outrageous)
-the movie was horrible, but we all loved it because the girls were in it
-buying the dolls, even if we stopped playing wih Barbies years back
-during gym class five girls would lip sinq songs like Stop EVERY DAY. No wonder why I still remember the lyrics...
-watch the music videos and concerts on TV as much as possible
-one of my friends went down to Vegas as a family trip and caught the concert

Yes... just as crazy as the Pokemon fad that came into market about a year later.

Oh! Anyone remember the power ranger collector cards? Digging through my old stuff I found my collection of cards. I was surprised, I thought my parents tossed thoughs long time ago. I remember being obsessed with those like in 3rd grade. I can't believe I actually had/bought those. Maybe there worth some money now.....

[c.t.,girl]

does anyone remember those gigapets?

[Danyasaur]

I wonder if anybody remembers Pogs...

Pogs! I remember those! lol I still have a bunch of the burried somwhere in my closet lol

For Sunako: they're little cardboard poker chip looking things that you'd stack then you'd take a big heavier one and bounce it off the top of the stack and see how many you could knock down *I think that's how you played, I haven't done it in awhile, lol*

and I also had a tomogochi but I got so anoyed at the beeping that I killed it XD

[c.t.,girl]

mine is dead. i played with it to much and forgot about it to much. ^_^;

[KiLaLaGuRl]

i used to have alot of pogs but then i think i lost them...or my friends took them! but i used to play with pogs all the time!

[Godly Paladin]

I still have my Tamagotchi, but the batteries are dead... My sis got the secret character on it, though. Pretty neat.

[PumpkinKoRn52]

Does anyone remember life before reality TV???

[Yojimbo]

Oh no...I remeber Pogs, Tamagotchi's, and Furby. I threw away all my pogs a couple years I still remember I had this "awesome" slammer that was bronze with a holographic dragon design on it. I always hated Tamagotchi's and Furby because when friends of mine had them I noticed how annoying they were. I think the 90's had the lamest fads of any decade.

Ok, ok...does anyone remember old school G.I. Joes? The big ones and then the little action figures that were held together by a rubberband? And old school Transformers too!

Even in Japan those things were everywhere.

[Yojimbo]

I grew up on G.I. Joe and Transformers man.

[Yojimbo]

I grew up on G.I. Joe and Transformers man. I had the giant G.I. Joe tank with a million plastic missles that I all lost in like a month. I had some Transformers too but not that many.

[Swordguy]

GI Joes rocked....wow i remember taking card board boxes and making my own forts out of them...wow the old days ...and i still have my gamegear that thing rocks, it had the lighted screan way before nintendo whcih made it great becasue i would always play it on road trips late at night...why do we go after fads so much?

[SpikeSpiegel306]

Dude! I had that tank...and cardboard forts are the reason that half of my G.I. Joes "died" (basically I would trap them in the boxes and light them on fire).

[KiLaLaGuRl]

[Mangafanatic]

Oh! I remember those! I remember I was really mad that my parents got me one of those instead of a Nano-pet. My cousin had a cute Kola Bear pet--- and I had this mutant egg thing. Yes, Osaka was not a happy camper.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

what about those things.... gah i forget, they were small circular thigns that you stacked, and you had plastic/metal round peices too that you slammed into the paper ones. The plastic/metal ones were called "slammers" but i forget what the actual thign was called... slam caps, tops? i forget..

OH I REMEMBERED! THEY'RE CALLED POGS!

and anyone remember the old zbots? little minture figures that were little robots

i also remember power rangers (my baby cousin still watches those weird new episodes) and i also remember transformers. I had the original optimus prime action figure, man he was the best! G.I. Joe was awesome too

[Kawaiikneko]

Omigosh Furbies O_O Those things were pure evil *shudder* mine wouldn't shut up! I had to take the batteries out.

I remember the crazy bones things! And I had so many pokemon cards until my mom decided they were bad and took them away. I could never use yoyos well and most of my tamagochis ran out of batteries ;;_;;

Did anyone have a Tickle Me Elmo? I remember my aunt got me one. Apparently they were hard to get? We found that thing in the basement a few years ago and had fun throwing it against the wall to make it laugh... yes me and my brothers are violent children...

Eventually I'll sell all my beanie babies on ebay and make money to buy manga ^^

[Kisa]

I had a tamagotchi! Also beanie babies and pokemon cards, lol....
Ah... memories..... ^^

[glitch1501]

does anyone remember the "stretch armstrong" doll type things, he had a hard body i think, and thick rubber arms and legs that were filled with sand

[Mr. SmartyPants]

does anyone remember the "stretch armstrong" doll type things, he had a hard body i think, and thick rubber arms and legs that were filled with sand

OMG YES! i once had one, and there was a rip, and this weird oozy gunk spilled. They also had another where it was some weird alien dude, where you pumped it and take all the air out, and bend him around

[Yojimbo]

does anyone remember the "stretch armstrong" doll type things, he had a hard body i think, and thick rubber arms and legs that were filled with sand

Yep and like a week after I got on me and my cousin stretched him out way too much and snap! His arms came off and all the sand came out.

[Mr_Anderson]

i had the super old digimon! its like out of batteries, but i think i got a teddymon 2 times!

[shadowblade]

I remember I used to kill my tamagochis. Lol, I think it killed it once by overfeeding it. I think it may have exploded, not sure. Lol. All the other times I just didn't feed it. I remember one of them broke (I had several bc my friends would give them to me when they got too annoying; how nice of them) and it just kept beeping and beeping and beeping... hours and hours straight. I started beating the thing with a hammer and it still wouldn't break. So in the end, I wrapped it up in towels and shoved it in the bottom of my sock drawer. Couldn't hear it, but I still wonder... why didn't I just throw it out? Lol.

[KiLaLaGuRl]

lol my cuzin has one of thoes, she was jelous that she didn't get one and my other cuzin did! it was so funny! she was complaining the whole day. untill we got her one, she talked about it every day!

[crossalchemist]

yoyo's? lots of my friends used to play w/ them but not as much anymore....

You better believe that I remember Yo-Yos, I have a friend who is the current national champion and California state champion. Yo-yos are making a come back.

[Kawaiikneko]
