Fads Revisited.

I know it may be taboo to rapid-fire post, but as long as we're on the subject...what is it with middle-school fads? At Mirman School (which, granted, is a school of incredible nerd proportions) troll dolls were big in 4th grade, Pogs (I'm sure there is a tm after that) were big in 3rd grade, and slap bracelets were big in 2nd grade.

Was it the same elsewhere?

For you older folks, *cough*David*cough*, what about Garbage Pail Kids? I loved those, but I was never really permitted to start my own collection...meanies. Ew, now that I looked at the GPK site, I'm really grossed out and glad that I didn't start my own collection.
