I didn't live through Pet Rocks, but I've long felt they've been unfairly maligned. The booklet that accompanied them (which is what you were really buying, if you think about it) is fucking hilarious, and some seriously under-appreciated creative writing.
To me, buying one would be like the modern day equivalent of sending $5 via PayPal to some rando, because "Dude...I like your style". |

When I was in 5th Grade, there was a sudden and huge Yo Yo craze that happened.
Every kid had to have a Duncan Yo Yo, and learn to do tricks with it like "walk the dog." Lasted a few months, and then POOF! - the craze ended just as mysteriously and suddenly as it had begun. |

Pogs and the bizarre Swing Music revival that happened in the late '90's.
It was like ska kids discovered their grandparents record collections or something. I think I still have a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy CD somewhere. |

Points off if you went alone and actually watched all the Eastwood spaghetti's in one night More points off if your tires were ripped open sneaking in the exit lanes with claws Black nylon glasses Double knit leisure suits Cat Diesel hats wearing plastic bags over your socks inside your Converse Hi Tops walking in the snow to school Button fly jeans Black and brown chunky heels - for men Vietnam ripstop jackets for leisure wear in college - authentic surplus with name in Magic Marker over the label Jungle boots - lefts from one pallet crate, rights from another good luck matching them up Owning an arsenal of toy guns |
