Default Re: What fads from your youth did NOT like?

I was never into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, even though it was HUGE when I was a kid. I never got into Pokemon Cards either, even though a lot of people my age did...I always kind of felt like I was "too old" for them. I did play the gameboy game some, but only once. Now that I look back on it, my little brother was really into all things Pokemon, so I think I kind of felt like I was too cool or too old for that.

Thats really about the only fads I can think of that were popular that I never got into...here are some others that I DID get involved in:

POGS - I remember Hardees had some sort of POGS promotion where you got piecies of this space ship and it made a Pog Holder. I think I sold my Pogs to someone eventually...cant exactly remember.

Finger skateboards / bikes - I remember these were HUGE when I was in 7th-8th grade (around 2000). They were just little skateboards you "rode" with your fingers and did tricks and stuff. Then game the bikes, which was basically the same concept.

Yo-Yo's: These came back in a big way around the same time as the finger stuff. I remember I actually was decent at walking the dog, cats cradle, and a few other Yo-yo tricks.
