A "fad" is defined as "any form of collective behavior that develops within a culture, generation, or social group in which a group of people enthusiastically follow an impulse for a short lived period".
Whether it be a fashion, phrase, collectible, mindset, etc, we all got wrapped up in SOMETHING that we look back and laugh at the absurdity. So I must ask the lot of you (even if it dates us) What was the dumbest fad that you got caught up in?
Myself, I wore something called "Tall Tees" back when they were a thing (mid 2000's?)...to this day I question HOW I managed to get cajoled into that foolishness. Funny enough those same shirts fit pretty will now that I've grown (both horizontally and vertically).
