The best Fad ever was those little Tiger handheld video games. I still have my talking Street Fighter 2 Turbo one that took 4 AA batteries.

Oh and anything on YTMND.com was a fad at one point. Especially the new fad of Chuck Norris quotes. That's been going on at the RX7club for a few months now.

The 80's cartoon (based on the fad) was indeed called "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles". Perhaps this wasn't violent enough, so they changed it to "Ninja Turtles" a few months later.

It was always Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in America. In Europe, the word "ninja" had violent connotations such that it wasn't allowed to be used in the name of such a product, so they called them the Hero Turtles over there. (This also caused Ninja Gaiden to be called "Blue Shadow," etc.) This has been relaxed in recent years, though.

[Burtsplurt]

That rubbish TV programme with 5 brightly coloured morons who had big robots. I can't remember the name.

People liked that a lot at the time. Mainly people under the age of 4, but whatever.

Draylon sofas.

BUMBLE BEE YO-YO'S!!

those shoes with the air pump, those were totally cool back in 1990. I felt like Mike. Pop country is a big fad around here, oh and acting like Nirvana is the greatest band ever, that's a huge fad.

[Reles]

We should bring head bands back. I have so many freakin scrunchies from my childhood. OH! and tamadachi's those little pet things you took care of on a tiny screen. I remember mine started to beep in elementary school and my teacher took mine away, I was so upset.
