All the strange fads we went through.

Yeah, the same thing happened to H. Salt Esq, but I still get my Fish & Chips at Steer & Stein, my favorite Steakhouse.

When we wore tee shirts, we would roll up one sleeve to keep our smokes in. Leather jackets and DA haircuts were popular. Just like Fonzie on Happy Days.

I'd still love to join in on a 'western' line dance. A woman on another forum said she can't stand them...lol Oh well, to each their own.

 

[HiDesertHal]

Yeah...I wore a DA all the time!

When I went to a barber shop, the Barber would say "Do you want a haircut, or shall I just change the oil?"

When I went to high school all the guys had crew cuts.

I simply refused to follow the crowd.

I finally got one and it looked awful. Couldn't wait for it to grow back as all the other did.

 

[Camper6]

Oh my... I guess it's another example of if we'd all kept all the stuff we had as kids, we'd be millionaires!!

Maybe. It depends. I saved the Kennedy Assassination of the Saturday Evening Post edition.

I thought it might be worth something someday. Right now it's selling for about $4.00.

Another fad: does anybody remember those plastic gadgets for making square hardboiled eggs?

 

[Loosey]

I got a paper dress as a gift when I was about 13. Wish I had kept it!

Does anyone remember circle pins?

 

[NancyNGA]

Anyone remember in grade school, when the fad was to accuse everyone you didn't like of having "cooties?"
[I think it only lasted a couple of years, thank goodness.]

The Duncan yoyo fad lasted a long time when I was a kid. Played with them so much that I bought replacement strings by the bag full.
