So at some point along the line, everyone has fallen victim to terrible trends and embarrassing fads, from Beanie Babies to Silly Bands, Razor Scooters, Baseball Cards, Uggs, Ray-Bans, Crocks, the list goes on… But what happened to all of the trends that the youth of America never picked up on? What did the creators of Sham-Wow! and Snuggies put out before they figured it all out? I’m not quite sure, but if I had to guess, I’m pretty sure these are some of those fads that never caught on:
1. Gravel Babies (Just like Beanie Babies, but a lot less snuggly)
2. Kazoo Hero
3. Figure Skating Cards
4. Serious Bands
5. Muggs (the predecessor to Uggs)
6. Sham-Oh…
7. Sluggies (like a giant slug you wear backwards)
8. Rocks (the predecessor to Crocks)
9. Stupid Cars
10. Build-A-Bug
11. Y-Box 180
12. Curtain Shades
