Fads We’ve Forgotten (On Purpose)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Binghamton chapter.

Remember when you had to race home from elementary school to make sure you fed your Tamagotchi pets?? There are so many fads from the past that we’ve forgotten (mainly on purpose) from our childhoods! Here are just a few:

1. Beanie Babies: 

These cute little stuffed animals were everyone’s favorites. And you couldn’t have just one, you had to have a bunch!

2. Backstreet Boys/NSYNC:

 

 

 

Embarrassed or not, every girl had a crush on Nick Carter or Justin Timberlake and a HitClip with their music hanging off their backpack. 

3. Heely’s:

All the guys in middle school sped off to class in their Heelys (and also got in trouble). 

4. iPods:

iPods were first introduced in the 00’s and everyone had to have one! Combined with a sidekick or enV, iPods were the best electronic accessories.

5. Livestrong Wristbands:

Easily forgotten, Livestrong wristbands were so popular in middle school and every kid tried to collect as many as they could fit on their arms. However, the original yellow Livestrong band was the most basic and essential one to own.
