1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah, I remember those. I had about 2,000 of them at one time. I got rid of them all when they started declining in popularity.

ROFL.

35. POGs: Passion Orange Guava juice. "POGs" were the little things in the cap

11. You know, I think they would occasionally get confiscated.
But never banned at my school!

I had a LOT of those things. There was time when I spent all my money on that crap,

....also, those sticky little walking octopi from vending machines, the ones that you were supposed to throw at the ceiling?

24. They were never really a "guy thing", I don't think.
An early 90's trend w/teenage and younger girls, mostly! :hi:

18. They were stiff and straight. . .
(sorry couldn't resist that subject line) . . .Until you SLAPPED 'em across your wrist and they'd curl up around your arm.

28. Funny you should mention that.
Not really different patterns, but if I had eaten a lot of popsicles or pounded food coloring, I would get a lot of different colors. Strange...

Edited on Sun May-30-04 12:26 AM by Rationality
By the fall though, they all disappeared. I have no idea how something like that could fade in such a manner. Anyone have a theory?

BTW, it was 1995 and I was in middle school then.
