12. Fads were a fad. There were a lot of them.

Mood rings, Nehru jackets and love beads, to name a few.

[debm55]

21. Thank you Ocelot II , I had all three.

[chowmama]

15. Creepy Crawlers

Yes, I did occasionally burn myself. But then there was the time I dropped a brightly colored centipede in my older sister's milk When she drank down to where it became visible, she fired the glass across the kitchen, narrowly missing my mother.

Totally worth it.

[debm55]

23. Oh you!!!!!!! Thank you chowmama.

[3catwoman3]

[EYESORE 9001]

22. Clackers (Klackers)

Broke a lamp and that was the end of the Ckackers fad in my household.

[debm55]

27. Thank you EYSORE 9001. I clacked myself with them once. I never used again. some kids could really get them going. Mine

never went in a line like the video.

[Eugene]

72. My elementary school banned them as both a breakage and projectile hazard.

[EYESORE 9001]

99. I was in high school when they appeared

It became a challenge to clack them hard enough to break the balls.

[DaBronx]

129. STILL HAVE a pair (in blue)

We called them click clacks.

[MyMission]

26. My mom collected troll dolls!

I remember a lot of fads from that time, my formative years.
My first thought was the pet rock, which I remember from my teenage years.

Then there's the fashion fads.
Hair parted in the middle, and then the shag haircut, then punk.
I remember bell bottoms, hip huggers mini skirts, wide lapels, platform shoes.
And jeans with many patches that I sewed on as they got holes!
Now of course they sell jeans with distressed holes and no patches.

[debm55]

29. Thank you MyMission for your selection. And those jeans are not cheap.

[lastlib]

28. Clacker balls!

I wore those strings out!

[debm55]

32. Thanks lastlib. I could never get them to work. Same for the Duncan yo-yo.

[applegrove]

[sinkingfeeling]

33. 45 RPM records

38. HAHAHAHAHHA. Thank you terip64

[Nittersing]

37. I was a troll doll for one Halloween!

I think it was an inverted appliance box with a LOT of orange yarn hanging down, all around it.

[debm55]

39. That's neat. Thank you Nittersing.

[livetohike]

40. Chewing gum wrapper necklaces or chains. I'm

not sure I remember how to make them though.

[sinkingfeeling]

43. I think I still have one. I also don't remember how to make them.

Probably a video out there somewhere on how to do it.

[debm55]

45. Thank you livetohike. I made and wore back then. I don't think I would remember how to make now.

[AllaN01Bear]

I had a set of leisure suits that my mother sewed for me.

[AllaN01Bear]

115. here ya go.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_suit

[debm55]

175. My husband has one. Keeps telling me that they might come back in style. Thanks TomSlick.

[TomSlick]

186. I hope he's wrong.

[debm55]

191. Me too.

[Ilikepurple]

142. This! The first thing I thought of

I mainly wanted some cuz the6 looked like big marbles, but mom said no.

[AllaN01Bear]

158. drove my mom crazy

[rsdsharp]

44. Super Ball.

Which was the inspiration for naming the AFL NFL World Championship Game the Super Bowl.

&pp=ygUKc3VwZXIgYmFsbA%3D%3D

[debm55]

47. My brother had one of those. It didn't live up to expectations.

[EverHopeful]

55. Friends and I used to play jacks with them

Going back to the regular ball just wasn't as much fun after playing with the Superball

[rsdsharp]

56. Isn't it kind of cheating when the ball bounces twelve feet high!

[AllaN01Bear]

116. had one when i was in first grade.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Ball

https://wham-o.com/products/superball-original?srsltid=AfmBOooENF3Dp6FmZqVAHTpxoCP-_nZsmOAOnD8huLsg-MWaer0xinaK

[Freddie]

182. A fad when I was in 5th grade!

They came in 3 sizes and everybody had them. I remember going to Woolworths with Mom to get mine.

[LogDog75]

48. Pulling the loop on the back of a shirt off

For some reason, it wasn't cool to have a loop on the back of your shirt in school. The loop was there so you could hang it up in a locker. If you had one, most likely someone would rip it off while you're walking down the hall. I never remembered anyone's shirt being torn so the loop must have been stitched in a manner that it would tear easily. Kids used to see who could collect the most loops in a day.

[debm55]

67. I remember that fad for the guys.

[3catwoman3]

138. At my junior high, they were called "fairy loops."

[Emile]

147. We called them fruit loops. One girl

ripped the whole back of my shirt when she tugged on mine in the hallway between class.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

49. I haven't thought about this in YEARS, but....

FRIED MARBLES! I'd take cat's eye marbles, put them in a cast iron skillet and turn on the heat until the glass developed cracks inside. Then glue them onto cheap necklace fasteners with airplane glue, put them on chain and wear as a necklace. ROFL!


Whoops! Forgot the ice cube part!



(That's when they'd crack.)

[debm55]

69. I never made. but my friends did. I was always afraid that they would explode.

[Aristus]

50. The kind of thing you used to get at state fairs: A heated and stretched Coke bottle, filled with layers of colored sand

forming a rainbow, then decorated with fuzzy tufts, googly eyes, and a golf-tee beak. A pop-art glass bird to decorate the window sill with.

[debm55]

71. I remember them filled with sand. HAHAHAHAH . do you still have your pop art glass bird? Thanks Aristus.

[Aristus]

124. No. It was my sister's. It broke and disappeared decades ago.

n/t

[yourout]

51. Pop rocks.

[debm55]

74. AGREE, Thanks yourout.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

141. Don't eat them and drink soda at the same time

your insides will explode!

[yellowdogintexas]

52. Ben Casey blouses (looked like the shirts doctors wore back then)

there was also a Ben Casey bracelet which I still have; the blouse/top kicked the bucket long ago

at my high school, there was an occurring fad amongst the boys to bleach their hair nearly white. ( one guy only bleached a stripe down the center of the top of his head, and left it longer than the rest of his hair. His nickname was "Skunk" after that)

Bleeding Madras cotton shirts, worn with jeans and WeeJuns (without socks)

Mohair sweaters

Keds with longer, squared toes

Humongeously teased hair

[SheltieLover]

53. Lava lamps

[JMCKUSICK]

119. I loved Lava lamps SheltieLover

[SheltieLover]

120. Me too, John...

[wcmagumba]

54. Slinky, they were never as much fun as advertised...I had clackers too...as a teen worked at a place that made them...

Our neighbor managed a small local plastics company and hired some of us teens (14 or older) to work at his company packaging and labeling the Clackers...

[yourout]

95. Great add though.

?si=iKm5qSD7fFWVaXYJ

[debm55]

197. Thank you , yourout. Yes I remember the toys and the jingle. After a bit , it became sort of boring though.

[Eugene]

57. The Afro

and many, many fads listed above.

I remember a Pet Rock on display and reading the owner's guide for it at a department store. I was first to bring a yo-yo to schools. Tie Dying a tee-shirt was taught in art class.

[debm55]

89. Agree on all counts. Thank you Eugene

[wcmagumba]

58. I also had Bell bottoms...

I remember my mom buying me two pair at Montgomery Wards (aka, Monkey Wards). I got a green striped pair and a blue striped pair....I was so cool...In my own mind anyway...

[DBoon]

59. Hot Wheels

[MontanaMama]

61. Shrinky Dinks.

Burned myself dozens of times getting them off the cookie sheet.

[debm55]

85. I loved Shrinky Dinks. You are right though. A real pain getting them off of the sheet of the toaster oven.

[Wiz Imp]

62. Avocado Green Appliances

[mwmisses4289]

88. Omg! That was almost as bad as the

three color shag carpets that was put into new houses in the early 1970's, along with the big flowered wall paper accents in the kitchen. Our carpet was shades of green, a neighbor had shades of orange, and I think another neighbors was shades of cream. People started recarpeting as soon as a kid spilled something on it, or threw big parties hoping someone would spill something on it so they could replace it asap!

[debm55]

91. Wiz Imp. that's for posting , but the is ugly.

[Doc_Technical]

63. Silly Putty

Collector cards, the size of baseball cards, that depicted a Martian
invasion of Earth, these were the inspiration for the movie "When Mars Attacks".
There were about 50 cards in the collection.

There was also a set of cards about the Civil War.

[pandr32]

64. My sister was crazy about Liddle Kiddle Kalonge Dolls

She had a whole bunch.

[Wiz Imp]

65. Streaking

[debm55]

83. I remember the streaking fad. It was pretty popular at sporting events. college campus, etc. Thank you for the reminder,

Wiz Imp

[Nictuku]

125. My mother was a skydiver back then

Back when streaking was popular, the skydiving team she was on "The Stardusters" actually did a streaking jump. Of course they had their parachutes and helmets and boots, but otherwise.... They did have a camera man (camera attached to helmet) who exited the plane last. Mom said that he must have had quite a view from there.

Boy has skydiving equipment changed since then! Nowadays they have these lightweight 'wing' parachutes (mom had the old fashioned type back in the 60s) You have so much more control over the landing, they don't even require heavy boots any more.

A packed parachute these days is about the size that the reserve parachute's used to be.

A related story: Reserve parachutes used to have to be packed by a professional once a year, and one year after getting hers packed, mom sewed a patch to it. She didn't find out until the next year that she had SEWN IT CLOSED! She was jumping without a reserve every weekend for close to a year.

[rubbersole]

66. Beatles wigs/boots.

I could use the wig, come to think of it ...

[debm55]

76. Thank you rubbersole. I remember the boots.

[Borogove]

68. Earth Shoes

I owned a pair of cheap knockoffs from Thom McCan’s. Was wearing them when I met my wife. She still makes fun of me for it.

[wcmagumba]

70. Man oh man I had those too, they were very comfortable...

Guess I'll have to face the fact that I had most all of these 60s and 70s items, and I liked them too...ha ha!

[debm55]

73. I had a pair of knockoffs too. At the time, everyone was wearing them.Thank you Borogove.

[DaBronx]

126. I miss these shoes!!!!!

[catbyte]

75. Platform shoes

I went on a senior trip to Italy in the early 1970s and thought I was hot stuff buying a pair of genuine Italian 6" platform shoes in Rome. I was going to be cutting edge in my little town in northern lower Michigan. I was until I tried to cross the street in town and almost broke my ankle on those damned things. They rapidly turned into a useless souvenir.

[debm55]

77. I remember the platform shoes. Made me look taller.

[catbyte]

84. Yeah, I thought that too, especially when I was barely 5'1" and my boyfriend was 6'4"

We looked like Mutt and Jeff so naturally the relationship was doomed. I vowed to never again date anybody over a foot taller than me.

[Nictuku]

79. Thing Maker (flowers)

[debm55]

112. Thank you Nictuku. That is very neat.

[ILikePie92]

[mwmisses4289]

93. Danish go rounds, candy cigarettes,

and something called Bottle Caps (I think that's what they were called). You dropped one in a glass of water and it would fizz. My favorite tasted like rootbeer, but iirc, they were also flavored grape orange and cream soda. Soda stream without the machine, lol.

Edited to add: Ah, just found that they were called Fizzies, not Bottle Caps.

[mwmisses4289]

96. Fizzies

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/fizzies--544513411173657365/

[4TheArts]

94. Hula hoops, and fizzies

Fizzies gone from the market when cylamates banned in 1968. I think Tang came out around then.
Hula hoops endure.

[brush]

97. Garbage Pail Kids. Kinda sick images, but funny.

Some sick, disgusting images, but somehow funny.

[Mike Nelson]

98. Super Stuff, by WHAM-O!

[Eugene]

100. Karate (1960s), Kung Fu (70s) and nunchucks (until they were outlawed).

[woodsprite]

101. Creepy Crawlers and Easy Bake Oven!

Both toys heated up enough to cook whatever it was you had in there, but my Mom always supervised my Easy Bake Oven cooking. She didn't with the Creepy Crawler cooking. I guess because she wanted to make sure what came out of the Easy Bake oven was edible.

[Diamond_Dog]

103. "Flip" hairdo like Marlo Thomas in That Girl.

I always wanted a hairstyle like hers but my hair wouldn’t cooperate. Later on in the 70s I had real long straight hair parted in the middle like Cher.

I was going to say white go-go boots but I see someone else beat me to it!

P.O.W. bracelets.

Macramé.

Crocheted vests. (I had one)

[debm55]

109. HAHAHAHAH. Diamond_Dog. I had curly hair. So I was no Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) I loved doing macrame. I had the P.O.W,

[ZDU]

[WestMichRad]

122. Spirograph

My family was fairly poor and with me the youngest of several kids, I pretty much had only hand-me-downs, except for a few clothes each year. So I was aware of most of these things that others mentioned, but had very few. Fizzies, a frisbee, lawn darts and that’s about all. Except the Spirograph, which was a Christmas present shared by 3 of us. Oh, and an Etch-a-sketch, which I never really could create anything interesting with. Stupid thing!

[debm55]

172. Thank you very much, WestMichRad. I had the Etch-a-sketch and Spirogragh. I liked the Spirograph, but hated the Etch-a

sketch. All I was able to make was squares.

[marble falls]

123. Hai Karate cologne for men. Every dude under 19 swore by it. ...

[BlueKota]

149. That will teach me to skim.

I read it was invented in the 70s. Missed the released in the 80s part.

[DaBronx]

128. Little Abner Shoes

Not sure if these were a regional thing in the Bronx but they came in two colors, dark brown suede and a lighter brown leather. I tried to find something similar a few years back and the closest I came to them was something called “roofer shoes.”

[debm55]

170. Thank you very much for sharing with us, DaBronx.

[Captain Zero]

130. PET ROCKS

They don't make noise like a dog, and don't poop in a box in your house like a cat.

[kozar]

132. I was 6ft tall at 12 years old

1972,
My 8th grade teacher, put a basketball in my hands. I still have that basketball, im 64 now and can't even see the hoop from the free throw line! The feel of that ball, makes me feel young again. And I'm still, just 6 ft tall.

[Ilikepurple]

144. Whacky Packages

When I was ten, I bought a box wholesale and got in trouble for selling them at school. They didn’t seem to be contraband. I think that my social studies teacher wasn’t fond of my entrepreneurial spirit.

[debm55]

151. Thank you IIikepurple. But what are Whacky Packages?

[Ilikepurple]

206. They might have actually been called Wacky Packages without the "h"

They were a pack of trading cards that had Mad Magazine like parodies of household products with a stick of trading card quality gum inside.

chokers, paisley prints, madras plaid that you washed and it “bled”, baby doll mini dresses. I still have my lava lamp in the spare bedroom. My grandkids turn it on first thing when they come for sleepovers. They also play with my clear orange Imperial yo yo that I got when I was in the 6th grade!

201. I made a house for my trolls and took it to show & tell. Way funner than barbies.

How are you doing deb?

[debm55]

202. Somewhat better. I am at an Oxygen level of 91-92. Can't get it to 93. Until then I have to stay on the Oxygen machine.

Thank you for asking Clouds Passing. It is very kind of you.

205. Thank you JPK. I remember making jewelry from the can pull tops. Doorway curtains sound creative.

And then, much later, the Mattel Electronics Football Game

Teacher's desk drawers were full of those things, because there was no way to mute the little beeps and chirps it made when you played it.

216. Hi, Niagara. Great to see your post. I never had one, but I knew people that did. Some were beautiful. I like the one in

your photo. Very unique.

My grandparents were Scandinavian, and fortunately I ended up with the troll.
