So what are some of the weird fads from school that you had to live through?

I remember that there was this weird jelly bracelet fad in fourth grade

1st grade - american girl dolls
2nd grade - grips for pencils
3rd grade - yo yo balls
4th grade - phat farm shoes
5th grade - livestrong bracelets
6th grade - heeleys
7th grade - hollister/abercrombie
8th grade - in the middle of the year it was rubik's cubes but that got old soon
9th grade - who knows

oh yes, you can never ever forget that fad about livestrong bracelets!

I dont remember the years, but we got Pokemon cards, Yugioh cards, Furbees (personally, those things terrified me, but everyone else loved em), yo-yos (there was one specific company...Duncan, i think), and Cabbage Patch kids, for girls.

how could i forget pokemon and furbee?? pokemon was in 2nd grade for me and furbee was kintergarten. i have a pretty good memory of all the years/fads i know a lot of the grades below me are currently in the webkin fad but we're kinda too old for that. in my summer school class EVERYONE has a webkin and thats grades k-7. my scioly teacher HATES webkins. he wants to dissect one for science class
