And let's not forget Garbage Pail Kids! Those were great....

It could be an urban myth, but I think schools were banning slap bracelets because the metal would cut through the fabric on and end up slicing the wrists of catatonically happy kids. Oops.
I remember the Pogo-ball fad and the Pocket Rocker fad, and the bandanas around the legs. The ripped jeans! Oh god the ripped stone washed jeans. There was a big spitball comeback when I was in 6th & 7th grade. Me and my buddies really championed that one. What about those Trapper-Keepers! Whoohoo. I had the funky zebra-striped one, and with my ripped tight-rolled pant leg stone-washed jeans, I was the coolest kid in 4th grade.
