Hey all,
I was rummaging through my old stuff from when I was a child and I found some interesting things. Basketball cards and Pogs!
hehehe... anyone remember the fads or trends that went through your school when you were kids?
I remember the first fad I hooked onto was the Basketball card craze... I think it was almost 10 years ago. I used collect the cards in one of those freebie photo albums from photo developer stores. I was a smart kid though ^_^ I didn't spend any money at all on my collection, most of it was given to me by friends.
Then came the POG craze. I'm not sure if it was popular in other countries. Basically pogs were like little disc shaped things (usually made of cardboard) with a picture or something on it, there was also a bigger plastic or metal disc called a "slammer" that you used when you challenged someone else for their pogs. The challengers stacked some of their pogs (picture face down) on top of each other and used the "Slammer" to try to flip the stack. If you managed to flip Any pogs, then you get to keep them.
For the younger MT members: what are the fads in your schools now?
For the older MT members: what fads do you remember from back in your school days?
