2709	Article	pikachulover	Funny I was just thinking about laser pointers a few days ago. My professor had one she let somebody in the class use it as a prop for a skit we had to perform in class. Talk about fads! I had a fanny pack that came with special pockets for troll dolls and it came with a troll. I had a few others too. Although I don't remember using them besides the troll one to hold my other trolls. I didn't really get into pogs until my neighbor did. I would always lose to her because she had this Nala bootleg slammer that thing was so heavy! My parents refused to buy me an adequate slammer. I loved rollerblading or inline skating.I got rid of my old small skates years ago. I was really thinking of getting myself another pair and taking it up again.		Sep 23, 2015
2710	Article	jkatz	A bit later in the decade, but I remember frosted tips being a thing. Speaking of fanny packs, a few weeks ago I saw a lady wearing a "Baywatch at Seaworld" one. I wish I offered to buy it off her!	5 Fads of the 90's	Sep 24, 2015
2900	Article	Poshy2005	I still have my POGS. Never played just collected them. Great article.	5 Fads of the 90's	Oct 14, 2015
3000	Article	mickyarber	Great article. I was into all of them except for the roller blades. Had a huge collection of POGs, and when my friends and I played, it was for keeps. I remember it was usually three of us, and we each would put in 2 pogs each round. Whatever you won, you kept. I had the fanny pack, but that was around 7th grade. Everyone wore them to school for some reason. Slap bracelets made their way through our school in around the 5th grade probably. I can remember spending a whole week's allowance on nothing but slap bracelets one time. What a waste. Laser pointers were huge for me, mainly because they were popular when I was into buying and selling goods...mostly stuff you would find at a flea market. I'd pick up these pointers that came with 10 changeable tips for $4. I turn around and sell them for $10. It may be hard to believe, but I could sell anywhere from 25-50 of those things a week for several months in the midst of their popularity! And that was just dealing them out of my trunk. I made a lot of money with laser pointers. And you know fanny packs were cool since Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is sporting one in that photo. This article may could have used a sixth item....Hackey Sack. It was every bit the fad these others were too. Really fun read that brought back a lot of memories.	5 Fads of the 90's	Oct 23, 2015
2650	Article	Vaporman87	I can't say I care too much for the flavor or texture of those little mellowcream pumpkins, but I have to give it to you... this is pure genius. LOL I wish I would have thought to do this in my youth. I would have had a blast turning my Joes into pumpkin people, all with varying face designs. If you DO make a few here in the present, I must see them! LOL	Mellowcreme Madness	Sep 15, 2015
2651	Article	kidcoffee	I wish I could take credit for the idea, but this was all my best friend. He was definitely the mad scientist of the two of us, but now knowing a few of his secrets I am pretty sure I can muster up a recreation. I only wish I was able to hang on to some of my old Joes, but I am pretty sure I can still pick them up cheap at Dollar General. Also now I have an excuse to pick up more candy pumpkins, as if I really needed one.	Mellowcreme Madness	Sep 15, 2015
2652	Article	onipar	Oh man, this was great. It sounds just like the sort of madness I would get up to around the Halloween season. I mean, look, I've gone and turned myself into a giant mutant candy corn!	Mellowcreme Madness	Sep 16, 2015
2656	Article	pikachulover	I love mellowcrememe pumpkins. I think my mom had a rule about not playing with food. If she didn't they probably would have ended up being Barbie's prop pumpkin or something. I know some people put some type of varnish or resin on those pumpkins and turn them into earrings and other types of jewelry.	Mellowcreme Madness	Sep 17, 2015
2657	Article	kidcoffee	@pikachulover they're the best!!! I think my mom had a similar rule, but she let it slide during the Halloween season. Either that or I just didn't listen. Looking back now I am thinking it was probably more of the latter, but I digress. Mellowcreme Pumpkins just screamed to be played with. They still do. Of course I think you're onto something with the resin...muahahaha. Oh this season will be fun indeed!!! @onipar Thank you for the kind words. How could one not get a little mischievous this time of year. The air itself calls for a bit of madness. As for turning yourself into a giant mutant candy corn I'm not sure which is crazier that or the fact I will one day soon(when funds prevail) be joining your army proudly.

2643	Article	Vaporman87	I know for a fact that my sister and I had created Shrinky Dinks a couple of times in our youth (with help from mom), but I recall thinking that, although cool, they weren't that practical. I think the novelty of it wore off quickly with me, and I never really asked for any more after that.	Shrinky Dinks	Sep 13, 2015
