| 2704 | Article | Vaporman87 | The laser pointers and fanny packs are easily the worst offenders of this list, with special recognition as a REAL problem going to laser pointers. I'm so glad that, although they are still around, nobody seems interested in annoying others with them any more. On the subject of skating, I too made attempts at rollerblading, but since the home I lived at during the time had very little concrete to use, I resorted to using my blades for miniature hockey matches with my brother, some sticks, a puck, and a goal. I didn't enjoy it nearly like I did the skating rink. But then again I think much of that has to do with the sense of community at the skating rink. I recently caught a glimpse at what will surely be the next wave of skating-related hooplah: <img src="/images/postImages/1442943899Strap On Skates.png"> Cruisers, by the Cardiff Skate Company. I saw these on an end cap of the toy and sport section at Target. Will they be the next big thing? | Sep 22, 2015 |  | |
| 2707 | Article | Caps 2.0 | Me and my brother still have a laser pointer that we use for our cats. It's fun to play with them that way. As for fanny packs, I still regularly use them when I go on major trips, like whenever we go to Walt Disney World. I also wore one to Chiller Theatre last year, and I'll be wearing it when I attend again this year as well. I do what I feel most comfortable with. For example, it's why I still refer to things as cool when most everybody else is now saying chill instead. | 5 Fads of the 90's | Sep 22, 2015 | |
| 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. | 5 Fads of the 90's | 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 | |
