    Loved them I remember they stopped selling them because the metal would get through and cut your hand. They actually sell them again


    What about the slap bracelets? :) lol


    lol yep... I had been cut by them a couple times

    Anyone have a photo of a slap bracelet? I don't think I have ever seen one.

    I would much rather see this again than the saggy pants dragging off the butt and on the ground, and over the modern-day skinny jeans as well! Long live the pegged pants! :tongue:

    My friend's kid wears skinny jeans and he somehow manages to sag them....crazy

    This got me thinking....Who remember pencil Fighting?

    I don't think kids do that these days

    So, sad to inform you but they still do this. I had at least 5-6 broken pencils on my floor every afternoon. And, they are still making spinners and fortune tellers :( Some things just won't die.

    Oh. My. God!!

    I had slap bracelets (my sister actually got me one for christmas a few years ago as a "remember when"). My arms were covered in friendship bracelets. Not only that but we used to make friendship pins -- beads on a safety pin -- and my sneakers were LOADED with them. Then the next trend was saving the pop tops off of soda cans and putting those through your laces. Why? I have NO idea. I had LA Gear sneakers with THREE -- read that -- THREE different laces that were different shades of pink that I shoved through the holes and wore. I wore the layered socks that just HAD to match my shirts and I tight rolled my acid wash jeans and any other pair of pants that I had. If they were too short to tight roll then I pegged them. And sadly I was part of the birds nest bang trend but unfortunately for me it never worked right because my hair naturally parts in the middle so I always had pouffy bangs on each side of my head. :grumble:

    Cant say I ever pencil fought....but how about de-pantsing a person? This was best in gym class :laugh:


    LOL! I do I do remember doing that...
    Only done it once... because you do it to someone and 5 more people will try it on you :huh:

    I use to walk while holding the front of my pants....


    oh and de-pantsing was way easy on someone wearing hammer pants....buahahaha!

    LMAO!! yeah but if you were wearing those awesome stonewashed jeans that you rolled the bottoms up, well it was a bit harder ;)

    No way! I rolled my jeans up too..

    Wait...wait...wait....those socks are not scrunched enough or puffy enough! :tongue: My sis would wear two pairs of socks too and different colors.

    Wait a minute, that's me - why you telling my business girl? LOL!!! And do you remember my 4-5 inch tall bangs???? I was so into it... everything...
