Yoyos: - back in like the late 90s, everyone wanted to be an awesome yo-yo-er. Me too, never caught on though.

But you'd keep hearing rumors about the fabric on the outside wearing down and the thin, cheap metal underneath cutting kids' wrists. Eh, when you're a kid it's a small price to pay for fitting in.

Giga Pets (and the like) I got a knock off version because we couldn't afford a real gigapet, lol. But these things were even banned in my school... lol

But I will agree with the Furby thing. I sooooooooo wanted to just murder my furby! IT WOULD NOT STOP TALKING, EVER! I had it in my room and as soon as I'd be falling asleep, out of nowhere my furby starts talking. I'm not even lying. I'm glad mine doesn't work anymore.
